440 and 460 relays.
Looking back over time it seems that confusion reigns as to what relay is where on the 400 series.
I have had a "dig" around and as far as I can make out, the following applies. Broadly there are two main versions of the main relay distribution box - an early one which includes the fuses and a later one containing relays only (with fuse box in RH under dash panel). Also note that not all cars or versions have all the relays shown. In addition a number of relays are located behind the dashboard and these seem to apply to both early and late cars. Note the relays shown on the A post may (on UK cars) be located on the nearside. I think I've got this right but if anyone can correct any mistakes or omissions or add any extras we should end up with a definitive list. Mollusk. |

That's splendid and just the sort of useful thing the forum should have. It's a shame there isn't a technical illustrations database that would stop things like this getting lost in the system.

Relay Location
Thats great Mollusk..very useful. Can I add that I think relay 12 on the 'late' list is the Terminal 15 Ignition Relay. Cheers, Sarumboy.

Absolutely correct Sarumboy - Relay 12 in the 'late' box is +15 ignition controlled supply.
My fault entirely - after I had drawn up the diags. and posted them I realised I had left no.12s description off.!! (one senior moment down to me then - but at least it shows people read 'wot i rote'. Mollusk. |

Hi there M Bullen - glad you find it useful - actually part of the credit should go to you, it was your "help desperately needed" post that gave me the idea to dig around and see what went where!
All the best - Mollusk. |

this is/was a very useful post - thanks. Is it possible you could re-post the missing photo or diagram showing the relays behind the dash please? This seems to have disappeared from the original posting, thanks again Ian F. |
