well i finished one of many one touch relay looms.

 

i had trouble at first thinking i made a mistake i looked over the loom again!

 

everything looking perfect i never made a mistake but the only thing that could have been wrong was the relay

 

i have 7 of them and testing each one i found out that 5 out of 7 were nacked! (or so i think)

 

now most of them are the 5 pin relays from mondys is there a special way to wire them up? or are they really fcuked?

Ah ha! pm Mrmetallica he knows the answer to your problem you need to wire it up to one of the other wires but i\m not sure what one

mrm is the man

thanks for the compliments lads.om mondeo relays you need to join wires 3-4 together.

cheers bud! will give i a go just now!

finally got round to fitting the relays with the pin 3 and 4 linked and the fuse blew instantly!

 

any ideas?

 

looked for shorts but could not see any!

have you connected the other wires properly.wires 3/4 go to switch wire 5 to motor.other wise you blow fuses.

yea done it just the same as before but with the 3 - 4 going to the switch end

id check all your conections if i was you.ive made this mistake myself.what i do is plug the plug into the female bit and make sure the wire run in like a ring.so 3-4 are opposite 5.if you know what i mean.

its all good now! thats the way i do it, make a ring type lead then cut it down the middle!

 

i think is was a bad solder joint somewhere as i use those screw connector block and it worked first time

can u tell me the serial code of the relays??
