Of course Paul is correct about the relay in the 1974. I'm not used to
working on cars that modern....
Oh, yeah, using the fused power supply is probably a good thing too. Brown
= hot all the time, not fused. Purple = hot all the time, fused.
One more tip. If your questions revolve around electrical items, it might
be best to wait for Paul's reply. He is good.
