Where are the relays on a Nissan Leaf?
When the switch powers relay 3, it sends that current to the motors’ down cycle. HOWEVER, a short in the harness across the two lines would power retract relay 4 every time, which would divert current to the up cycle only. Typical places for shorts are the wheel wells.
When do the relays go down do the headlights go down?
The one thing I do know is that when pins 3 and 5 on the relay labeled H/L Retract the headlights do go down, but pins 1 and 2 do not have voltage going across them when the headlight stalk is in the off position. So I don’t even know if any relays are left to be the culprit if thats the case or is there?
Where is the timer on a Nissan headlamp?
Headlamp timer is behind the driver’s kick panel. It’s a black box unit that says Timer Assembly. You can do a visual inspection of it by taking the cover off. I’ve seen them burn traces in the past, but rarely have I seen the components inside fail. An easy cont test for this one would be a test light with the switch in off.
What does retract relay 3 on a Nissan mean?
Retract relay 3 is probably the relay giving you hassles, which is going to be H/L Ret Down. The other two are the grounding relays for the headlamps so they can cut power to the headlamps when the motors are transitioning positions. Thats the relay I was talking about (I guess I forgot to add “down”.
