Relays

Featured Replies

Morning all.

I have a 240Z which I have been restoring over the past 2 years. The car came to me in various boxes. Its a late 73 240z. I have now got to the point of getting the electric back in. Engine bay loom is back in. I have the loom through the firewall and sitting on the floor with a various collection of multi plugs.. blue,black, white etc which I know connect to the dash loom and the rear loom.

What is confusing me somewhat is is the relay panel. nothing was connected and nothing labeled. Has anyone a picture of the actual relays that should be on there and which wires connect to what. One or two are obvious as the wire match up. others not so.

The last thing I want to do is connect up something and fry the wires.

Many thanks.. the pictures from the manual are all but usless as they do not show the actual relays and what they do.

thanks..:ermm:

This may help. I grabbed it off a thread when I was trouble shooting a while back.

Since the OP is in England, it's worth noting that his car won't have #5 unless it is a LHD US model.

That appears be a scan of a late (77-78) 280Z relay bracket that would be located above the fuse box and transistor ignition unit in the passenger side kick panel of a U.S. model.

Here's a copy of the wiring info for an S30, LHD too:cool:

Many thanks.

I am getting somewhere now. My loom appers to be a mixage of a 72 / 73. It has things in common with the the early 260z 2 seater and the 72/73 240Z. I am tracing each connector back to its source and going from there.

I wil now more when I power it up. So far there are no shorts and each wire tested so far looks sound.
