Other 70 Problem: - Relays in rear cargo bay: what does what

Jon V70 2.4T · Oct 15th, 2007, 20:50

Can anyone tell me what each of the relays in the V70 (2001) rear cargo bay module do?
I have problems with tailgate and rear offside door and fuel filler refusing to unlock.
By swapping the relays around (they are all the same) I have concluded that they are the problem (I can can cure one or two symptoms but never all three at once) but because I don't know which relay is faulty and I have three faults, it is driving me nuts trying to isolate which relays to replace!

Also there is a danger I am putting the dodgy relay in a circuit for something a bit more vital than the filler cap.

I need a wiring diagram, or at least a key for relays similar to the fuse list in the handbook. Hope someone can help.
Thanks

RMI 19 = T'gate opening relay
RMI 20 = T'gate locking ''
RMI 21 = Fuel flap unlock ''
RMI 22 = '' '' lock ''
RMI 23 = Rear right c/lock un-lock relay
RMI 24 = '' '' '' lock ''

As you look at the REM (rear electronic module) these relays are in the bank on the left (10 relays) top one is RMI 15 and the last is RMI 24.

Thanks Paul, Brilliant info, new relays in and everything sorted!

FYI, I found RMI19 locks tailgate and RMI20 unlocks.

Since posting, my rear wiper has packed up, probably due to me disturbing the REM. Fuse is fine, any ideas?

I also have relays in RMI13 and RMI17, what do these do?

RMI 13 is the rear wiper relay!!!!!!
RMI 17 is not listed but from memory (sometimes not so good these days lol) this would be for rear fog lamp when tow bar fitted.

Paul.

Can anyone tell me if there is a relay that controls the flashers on the trailer. The car flashers work fine.

The right-side flasher does not work on my car - OK on other cars.

I have checked for a circuit between the plug in the cargo compartment (both sides) Green cable, and the plug on the back of the car.

You need to tell us which model of car and year of manufacture.

Hello, I have a 2003 V70 petrol car and the right trailer flasher does not work. I have checked for a circuit from the plug in the cargo bay right through to the bulb on the trailer - all OK.
Can anyone tell me where the relay is that controls the trailer flashers.
All lights and flashers on the car work fine, both L, R, and hazards.
