Bricks:

So I just sat down with the brickboard's relay cluster diagram and my 1985 740t and noticed that my layout is slightly different than the one in the pictures. Does anyone know why this might be?

I have only three relays in the front row, 4 in the middle, and 5 in the back (the picture has 4/5/3).

My layout is as detailed below (as far as I can ascertain it). Just wondering why this might be.

Bulb Fail | Belt Warn/Dr Door | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown

Fuel Pump | Empty | Flasher | Unknown | OD

Unknown | Headlights | Empty | Front fog| Empty

For comparison, the one in the faq section is as follows:

Bulb Fail | Seat Belt | Wipe Del | Empty | Empty

Fuel Pump | Fogs | Flasher | Main Lts | OD

Windows | Locking | Empty | Aux Lts | Rear Fog

Looking forward to some discussion on how and when Volvo changed the relay layout, why they may have done this, and how many permutations of the relay boards are out there.

Regards,

Rick

The relay in the front left position is for the power windows and the aux. electric fan for the AC. I removed the relay and added a jumper so the windows and fan work all the time. In hot weather, it's nice to have the electric fan run to help cool things down. I can make a copy of the relay tray page in the wiring diagram manual and e-mail it to you later today.

That would be great, it's for the '85 740t, right? Do me a favor and email it to ratilghman@hotmail.com instead of the email I have in here? Sprintlink has a down router to my server in Chicago and my email ist kaput for the moment.

Thanks a bunch.
