Default Re: Relays in underhood fuse box

Funny you should bring this up.

Had a look in the fusebox on a '03 H2 the other day trying to find out why the DRL's weren't working. Relays was seated in both directions and whereas the diagram showed them all pointing the way you just described.

The interesting thing is that everything seemed to work fine on the truck (apart from the DRL's) so I turned the DRL relay around and still nothing. While I was at it I tried turning the Horn and A/C Compressor relays as well to see what would happen (if anything) and things were still working like they should.

What's up with that? I had thought that by switching a relay around the 'on/off switch' would be on the wrong side either killing the relay (due to the signal being much higher) or at least making the circuit not work. What am I missing?

The DRL's, which I found out after a few hours of poking around wasn't working because they've been replaced by custom lights with a custom harness connected to god knows what at this point. Good thing is the custom lights are normal headlights (although smaller) so I should be able to wire them up to use as DRL's during daytime and full-beams at night.
