Electrical: Location of the heated rear window relay?

[Big 240]

So today, whilst I was refitting my centre console I decided to try and locate the rear window relay, as currently it's not working.

Could I find it? Could I bugger!

I know it's an orange relay, and it's supposed to be behind the glovebox. But I couldn't see anything. Checked on the drivers side too...

So has anyone got a picture of the location?

It's an 89 saloon.

Cheers Guy

The relay on a 1989 is a timer relay and it is under the dash on the left side , see if they have tucked it behind the galvanised panel on the floor on the very left side where the passengers left foot goes, they tuck the wiper delay relays down there too.

Ahh cool, the black one that's held down with a couple of screws? I pulled the carpet up but didn't check behind there. Cheers man.

one of the 4 relay terminals has 2 yellow wires going into it .

So whilst refitting my blower motor, I checked behind the galvanized panel, but alas no relay. The liquid is from a little spillage from disconnecting the heater. But what I have seen is there's a few relays clipped behind the centre console just above where the switches are. Only visible when looking from underneath... I've not checked yet but I'm presuming one of these is then one.
