Does this relay just plug into the same base that's shown in the picture in the first post, i.e. the yellow one? So it's a timed jumper lead rather than just a permanent jumper lead?

...and I got off my butt and looked at my car: the relay block shown has currently got a relay in it. So, do I assume that with EITHER mod, you of course need to remove the original relay to replace with a wire OR the timer relay?

be aware by shorting out these contacts the 2 fuses that were allocated for the seat warmers (not used in oz ) will be alive at all times ,so they can be used for circuits with power protected all the time

I'd be interested in hearing the answer to this as well...

For these modifications the relay that is currently in the yellow plug is being removed from the system and made redundant.
The jump wire method is simply joining the 2 wires the relay would once energized when the ignition is turned on, I fused mine to add a level of wire protection.
The timed relay is a straight swap.

Either method will work.
I prefer full time availability(jump wire) as at camp there is no need to power up the Defender to put a window up.


While your there another mod I did...
Removed the wipe function from the washer switch(Puma).

Thanks for that, My 130 has seat warmers, could be a good way to send your battery flat.....
