I need a distraction whilst I solve all my running issues. I noticed the relay for the interior light courtesy delay timer relay is missing. It would be nice to find a replacement.
I was looking at the workshop manual and it all seems rather clever in its operation, but it doesn’t help me in finding the right 4 pins so I’ve relay to fit. Does anyone know of an aftermarket one I can buy?
my understanding of the circuitry is this… again, please correct me if this is wrong. I was scratching my head on this for ages.
Permanent live goes to interior light +ve terminal
Bulb negative terminal goes to 3 way switch with positions:
For option 3 - delay courtesy light timer

Permanent live goes to interior light +ve terminal
Bulb negative terminal goes to 3 way switch with positions:
- Earthed - manually switches lights on
- Not earthed - light off
- Switched earth - doors and relay
For option 3 - delay courtesy light timer
- Door is opened which closes switch to earth - light goes on. Also triggers relay by charging capacitor in relay - Pin 86 maybe?
- Relay gets constant power to pin 30
- Relay is grounded on pin 85
- As capacitor discharges over a few seconds the circuit with pin 85 earth breaks and light goes off
- If headlights/sidelights are on … somehow pin maybe 86 doesn’t charge capacitor so interior lights go straight off when the door shuts and the circuit is therefore open
