Relay tray

Post by paulwall »

Hi trying to find picture of the relay tray and it’s components for a 77 1800 when I turn on ignition there is a clicking coming from a relay that’s bolted to the tray. Can’t find anything in the books that l have. Does anyone know what it is please???

What colors are the wires leading to this relay? My guess is that it's either one of the relays for the seat belt interlock system, or the buzzer for the "open door" or "fasten seat belts" warning.

That sounds like the windshield wiper intermittent cycling relay, which has red, yellow, light blue/white and a fourth wire which is usually grey/black. There were some inconsistencies in color codes, so maybe that explains your blue wire?

But why would your windshield wiper be activated? Any chance you have the stalk lever in the middle position? Up is off, middle is intermittent, and bottom is continuous.
