Mk1 Front Heated Screen Relay

[JDF]

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me.

I have just got a replacement relay for the front heated screen for a Mk1 Gallaxy (relay 22, stamped with a large 170 on top).

 

I opened the fusebox door & removed. Then lowered lower dashboard trim (4 screws) to gain better access.

 

However once I pulled down the main fuse/relay (release white clips) I can't find the Additional Relay Box (under the instrument panel), which I believe I need as the relay that needs replacing in number 22.

 

Can anyone tell me where this Additional Relay Box (under the instrument panel) is on an 1998 Mk1??????

 

 

Is this link correct for a MK1 http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...ost&id=4656 because it lists relays in the Additional Relay Box (under the instrument panel), but does not show it.

 

Does anyone have a pdf or guide so I can locate & change the relay

 

Cheers in advance

Found the answer.......

The Additional Relay Box is tucked right up under the dash - very difficult to see even when you peer up.

On our car you could only see the underside - you carefully had to remove it from 2 lugs and gently manover it until you get to the relays (on the top side). Change relay number 22 (large 170 stamped on top) & heated front screen now works. The difficult bit was relocating the exposed relay box.

Then just had to reassemble the master relay/fuse box.

I don't think this is a very good design :rolleyes:

 

Hope this post helps others!!!
