25.5. Safety locks and relay

Fuses

Information on safety locks is available on inside of a cover of the block of safety locks and the relay

Fuses are placed in the block of safety locks and the relay located in a back part of a motor compartment. On some models the additional fuses placed in the additional block of safety locks which is located behind the main block of safety locks are installed.

For access to safety locks disconnect a spring bracket and uncover the block of safety locks and the relay (see rice. Removal of the spring bracket fixing a cover of the block of safety locks and the relay).

The arrangement of safety locks and electric chains protected by safety locks are given in the sticker located from the inside on a cover of the block of safety locks and the relay.

Before removal of a safety lock switch off ignitions. To remove a safety lock, use tweezers for extraction of a safety lock from the 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 fused.

Always replace a safety lock with other safety lock of the same power. Each safety lock has an inscription about the size of the protected current. Never replace a safety lock more than once, without having defined the reason of its burn-out.

Relay

Relays are placed in the block of safety locks and the relay located in a back part of a motor compartment. For access to the relay disconnect a spring bracket and uncover the block of fuses, then unscrew screws and uncover the relay block (see rice. An arrangement of screws of fastening of a cover of the block of the relay, a relay Arrangement on the block of safety locks and the relay).

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

– the relay can switch big currents remotely from a chain in which this current flows, allowing to use thinner wires and contacts of switches;
– the relay can have more than one managing director of an entrance, unlike the mechanical switch;
- the relay can perform function of the timer, for example, to set an interval of work of screen wipers.

If the system operated by the relay fails, and a cause of defect, perhaps, the relay is, listen to operation of the relay at the included system. If the relay regularly works, then you have to hear click at its inclusion. If the relay is serviceable, then the cause of defect is concluded in elements or the connecting wires. If the relay does not work, it means that it does not receive the main power supply or the operating impulse, or the relay is faulty.

For replacement of the relay switch off ignitions and, having just pulled the relay, take it from a nest and insert on its place new.
