Arrangement of the main block of safety locks and the relay on the panel of devices from outside the driver

The main block of safety locks and the relay is located under a cover in the panel of devices from outside the driver.

The arrangement of safety locks and the relay is resulted on a cover.

Each safety lock has an inscription about size of a passed current.

To remove a safety lock, take advantage of tweezers for extraction of a safety lock from a socket. Get a safety lock from tweezers. The wire in a safety lock is swept easily up and will be broken off, if the safety lock has fused.

Always replace a safety lock with other safety lock of the same capacity. Never replace a safety lock more than once, without having defined its reason перегорания.

The relay

The relay is электронно the operated switch which is usually used as follows:

  – The relay can switch a power-current дистанционно from a chain in which this current flows, allowing to use more thin wires and contacts of switches;
  – The relay can have more than one operating input unlike the mechanical switch;
  – The relay can carry out timer function, for example, to give out an interval of work of screen wipers.

Relay arrangement in front of the accumulator in a motor compartment

 Relays are located in the main block of safety locks and the relay though some relays connected with the engine, are located in a motor compartment.

If the system operated the relay, fails, and a cause of defect, probably, is the relay, listen to relay work at the included system. If the relay regularly works, you should hear click at its inclusion. If the relay is serviceable, the cause of defect is concluded in elements or connecting wires. If the relay does not work, it means that it does not receive the basic power supplies either an operating impulse, or the relay is faulty.
