I am after Relay 132 shown on Page 18 0f http://www.fullfatrr.com/gallery/albums/us...001_UK.pdf wonder if anyone who has perhaps changed from ignition switched to continuous live has still got the relay.

Failing that a pointer to where one can be obtained would be appreciated. TY. John

That just shows a wiring diagram, not what the relay physically looks like.

I would have thought it's a standard relay - I can't believe they would make specific relays for individual jobs.

Do you know where it plugs in ?

Is there a similar looking one close by ?

I have posted a picture on this thread http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic32392.html

There are other relays next to it but they all appear to have different ratings.

I agree that the circuit diagram doesn't show what it physically looks like. The other difficulty is that it is not clear whether the description "Relay 132" is merely a vehicle specific numbering. If I search on "Relay 132" I get pictures of relays with lugs on them so I think it is probably just a numbering system for the vehicle. John

The green relays are just bog standard 5 pin relays available everywhere... Pete

Thanks, Pete. Will get on to getting one. It's just that there are so many opportunities for electrical glitches on th FF that one gets a bit paranoid.  John

Agree - the connections look like a bog standard relay - should be available from pretty much any car parts shop

Can't see from the f]photo is there is a centre pin - so it's either 4 or 5 pin

Just checked, it's 5 pin. Interestingly the others in the photo are all 4 pin so lack a centre pin. The bridge in the photo goes between the top pin and the centre pin. John

Hmmm - that seems very bizarre indeed....... or maybe I'm just being dumb.....

A car relay typically has the 2 side pins in your picture as the coil so one side would be ground & when the other side gets +12v it operates the relay like a switch - they would be labeled 85 & 86

The front pin is the common (labelled 30)- and the relay connects that to either the centre pin (87a) by default, then switches it to the rear pin (87) when operated. So under normal conditions the centre & rear pins would never connect together so I can't figure out what that bridge is there for.

On the circuit diagram, the other side of the relay is not connected to anything - only 4 connections to it.

With the bridge removed there is no power to the sockets. As above, the other relays are 4 pin. The socket with the bridge is the only one which has a pick up on the centre pin. The other relay sockets have a blank receiver ( no metal showing) at the centre pin. John

An update. Having slept on it I had a thought (not too painful ) so removed one of the 4 pin relays and put it in in place of the bridge. Result - ignition switched sockets.

From that, as I finally suspected, it would appear that LR have put in a 5 pin socket which means they can either use a 4 pin relay for ignition switching or a bridge between 87 and 87a to have permanent feed.

Will get a 4 pin relay tomorrow.  John

That would make some kind of sense - both front & centre pins could be +12v - so even with a 5 pin relay, it would work OK

Not that it really matters - you've found the solution
