I am having electricla problems and need help to figure out the proper relays. A cool memeber of the forum and I spent about 1 hour trying to figure it out. Heowns a 1984 300SD and the fuse box is different.

The help I need is to compare the relays (of which I have 7), the part number and their location.

I am suspect of the 2 closeset to the firewall. It seems there is a good chance that one of those 2 are suspose to be overlaod protection and have a American style fuse at the top.

Thanks for any help

Don

Standing in front of the car and facing the fuse box, the relay layout in 1983 is as follows:

Front row left - seats
Front row right - aux fan
2nd row left - seats
2nd row right - windows
3rd row left - OVP or EGR - think its missing on the SD, no relay
3rd row right - a/c compressor timer
Rear row left - rear window defogger timer and sliding roof
Rear row right - wiper/washer

You can alwatys confirm function by pulling the related relay to see if the related equipment fucntionality changes.
