Relay / Fuse Layout

[jonesnips]

Was driving home and smelt like an electrical burn, after spending some time at home I returned to my car but it refused to start. I believe that maybe my fuel pump relay has burnt out and that would explain both the smell and the non starting; can anyone please either come up with some other options that would explain both the symptoms and also has anyone got a link to a diagram of the layout of the relays and fuses!!!

get urself a haynes, got mine off ebay for like 6 quid when there 15/18 in shops lol. will help you out with alot of things.

would tell you the number of the relay but seems as i am at work and dont have it with me lol i cant sorry

however, if you take off your glove box (one under the drivers wheel) it should say on there what relay and fuse is what.

but about the symptoms i havent a clue i would have thought its either the fuel or there is no spark.

Your car may have a later fuse box, but mid 80's to early 90's looked like this in a VW.

 

[captin_urbis]

nah cox mate it looks nothing like that, looks like a mk2 golf one though

 

[captin_urbis]

thats the fusebox only know a few, relay 8 is the wipers, fuse 22 (10a) is stereo and lighter socket, fuse 21 (15a) is the boot light and central locking(

Im thinking its probably something in the engine bay burning out, have a good look around see if there are any signs of burning. Particulary battery connections, ignition coil, alternator.

Ive heard of people have issues with the fuel relay but no one has ever mentioned the burning smell.

If nothing, check the fuses and relays. To be honest if you smelt it that strongly i would expect a sign somewhere.

hello does any one knows about seat altea 2.0tdi fuel pump relay location the car stopped itself and i have put on machine just says fuel pump relay

 

[matt-lmr]

Hi does anyone or can anyone look at there fuse box and tell me where the main power and earth go into the fuse box?
odd question i know but im using a seat ibiza gti 16v 1997 fuse box in a project and forgot to take note of were the power and earth go into the fuse box
any help much appreciated matt

 

[cupraman1991]

does anyone know which number relay operates the central locking system ? would be of great help

 

[DPJ]

does anyone know which number relay operates the central locking system ? would be of great help

14 or 19, I think

 

[cupraman1991]

seems that the relay is engergising when the unlock and locking buttons are pressed on my key fob, does anyone know where the master switch is located for the central locking system?

 

[Krishen]

Deos anyone have a pic of where the ECU relay (relay 30) goes? I took it out last week for someone to test on their car and now i can't remember which position it goes in the fuse box.

 

[Inspector Seagu]

Hello,

The indicators on the drivers side (right) on my 2004 Toledo saloon are staying on all the time. I suspect its a relay but anyone know where the relays are ?
