Interior Light Problems

[newsh]

The 2 relays are 305 and 320 in the pics, I think this setup maybe uses both, (I've got a diag from a 200 that uses 2 relays)
I wonder why one of them is upsidedown??
They share a common base.

Here is the back of the relay sockets, relay 305 has lots of wires, relay 320 has only 3.

i got mine fixed tonite it turned out to be a burt out wire due to a very dodgy alarm instal that looks like its patly been removed all the wiring is a right mess i took some photos that im reducing to post but dont know if thay help as mine looks quite differnt to yours relay no 320 is definatly the one

Glad you got yours fixed, I took several kilos of old alarm and imob wiring out of mine and then someone else took some more, I'm afraid that the int. lights stopped working during this clean up campaign, I didn't notice till it started getting dark again..
So 320 could be the switch and 305 is the timer?
How many wires on your 320? is it the same way up as mine?

[marty]

sounds like mine. It needs a good clear out. 320 has about 10 i dont have a 305 though the wire that had burnt looks abit like an add on but think its origional by its colour black with red stripe

[marty]

OK so relay 320 works the int. lights on your car? If you pull it the int. lights go off? and its in position 3 and its got a bunch of 9 or 10 wires going to it which look the same colours as the wires on my position 3, so, my relay 320 is in the wrong hole, as suspected, and needs to be moved from posn 4 to posn 3. Relay 305 (which you dont have) is the AC clutch relay and should be in posn 4
I'll try this tomorrow. I suspect the relay is faulty anyway, so I'll prolly need a new one..

Thanks Marty you've been a great help in filling in the gaps for me, I'll get there in the end, I hope....

This is what came out from under my dash in one session, there was about the same again still to come!!

[marty]

yep if i pull 320 out the lights go out good look

[marty]

no pix but i know what you meen. how do they get away with fitting alarms etc so badly. Talking of which i need a certificate for the insurance and am going to have to pay somone to look at the alarm fitment to fill in a form to say it has one fitted

The relay with the fuse is for the ABS, AFAIK, the SAME relay that does the one touch up / down on the windows ALSO controls the interior light delay. It is the double size one, can't remember the part number, will look at mine.
