This is how my car's relays are arranged (Aug '73 build; Euro).

From left to right:
1st: Windshield wipers relay (large one).
2nd: Load shedding relay (38 in my schematic).
3rd: Was empty (114) on my car as front windows are manual thus the door switch wiring to allow windows to open isn't needed so I rewired the existing socket and added a relay for the low beams to unload both the ignition and headlight switches from carrying that heavy current load.
4th: Relay 115, load shedding for electric windows

The relay arrangements in this area seem to be varied.

Great resource on relays and labeling also helps.
Would you have anything on 74 3.0 cs automatic? I just bought one and found a second line coming from the transmission expansion tank loose and don't know whwere it goes. The other line in connected to the trans dipstick tube.
Thanks
