hi all. having the recent problem with starting which is now solved after it being the relay. i have been told that the reverse lights run from a relay as well, also heated screen dont work. is it by chance that they run off the same relay. if thats the case then where are the relays fitted. thanks.
 
I didn't know that the HRW worked through a relay, (re your thread title) and I'm sure that the reverse lights don't.
 
thanks harvey. i might as well get in touch with you direct.;););) you know all my answers.:thumb:thanks mate. there the only 2 things not working on my car now screen and reverse lights. switch ok on rev lights and switch for screen lights up so is live.
 
Get a test lamp on the HRW connections, and the reverse light bulb connections, and work from there towards the switches. There is an earth connection on the HRW as well.
 
In the workshop manual wiring diagrams 86.00.01 sheet2 shows a relay in the hrw circuit. The items to look at in the diagram are 71, 75, 76 and77.
Physically I think it is above the passenger side glove box where the alternator relay is/was/ ? fitted.
 
Found it. 77

Yes thats it, just been looking it up on my electronic version of the manual.
Item 77 labelled Relay for Heater and Heated Back Light with the wire colours W, NW, SN and Earth.
As far as I can remember these colours corresponded to the relay I had assumed was the alternator relay above the glove box
