Hi,
I'm troubleshooting some electrical issues. I'm getting confused with the relays on my '74 CS.
Could you guys confirm which relay is meant for?
- Battery location
. 1 - Evap fan
. 2 - Fog lights
. 3 - Horn
. 4 - High beam headlights
- A pillar location
. 1 - Low beam headlights
. 2 - ???
. 3 - ???
. 4 - ???
. 5 - ???
Thanks in advance for your lights,
Stephane

#2 and #3 are in the power window circuits. If your windows work only with the driver door open, one or both of these are bad. #4 is the intermittent wiper relay. Don't know what #5 is, on my car it is jumped. HTH.

I think Bill is correct. Looking at a wiring diagram "73 models on" number 5 may be the hazard flasher relay. Number 1 is Lo beam, not found on earlier coupes, with Yellow/White, Brown, Red and Yellow. Next to Battery, Horn Relay will have Red, Green/Yellow, Brown/Yellow and Violet/Black wires. Hi Beam will have Red, White, Grey.
