hello everyone. new here so forgive me if i ask something thats been covered already.
i currently have a 1978 bertone x19. im no stranger to the x1/9,s as ive owned a 79 and a couple 82's however this 78 seems a little harder to find literature for. what im looking for particularly is a simple fuse and relay identification chart. ive found several wiring diagrams for similar year and model combinations but nothing spesific to the 78'. before i get too far into things ill tell you about my problem...
the fuse located in what i suspect to be in the (b) or the (q) location pops as soon as i insert the relay into the second relay slot from the left closest to the fire wall facing the vehicle from the front, i suspect this is related to the headlamp open close system since mine do neither. ive replaced the diodes with no luck. so im pretty sure i have a short in the circuit. thats a no brainer. i could trace the short down if i knew which one of the three relays used in the headlamp system, this particular relay actually was.
in short to save me some time since im working in a non heated garage, a simple chart labeleing the relays and fuses would be very very helpful.
ok back to my overall project. the car is a real project. but has a ton of potential. it is the survivor of what appears to be about a 10 year old b grade restoration. body is solid where it counts but the floor pans have about 10 inch holes in them and the drivers seat is crunchy, the door panels, passenger seat and dash pad are pristine. ive replaced the stainless exaust with a nos muffler i found in a local exaust shop. rebuilt the carb and replaced the plugs wires and some hoses and it runs perfect so im inclined to continue on with the project.
if someone can point me in the right direction to a simple numbered labeled relay chart i would be a happy camper.
thanks, robert....
