Relays in 1.8 AAM automatic. Which one is for ECU?
« on: 23 February 2013, 17:42 »
Hi I have the following relays in my car and I think these are what they are for: I have a 1.8 auto AAM


72-rear wiper relay
99-front wiper relay (intermittent)
36-headlights warning relay (buzzer when you open the door?)
18-load reduction-lights, defogger etc, (when you crank the car diverts all power to start car)
53-general electrics-horn, fog light
167-fuel pump
191-hazards
175-automatic transmission relay

so which one of these relays are for the ECU? I was unable to garner that info.
I've got all spare relays except for 175...so I am hoping one of them is the culprit.
Anyone know which one it is?

Thanks in advance.
