Pektron low fuel warning light delay "relay"

[Pete Boole]

I'm wanting to test a Pektron low fuel warning delay "relay". I've got the wiring diagram from the MH section of the service notes but don't have the bank of relay bases/holders that is present in a car. Does anyone have an old wiring loom they could check for me to see which wires connect to which terminals on the relay base? The wire colours are black, green/orange, light green/orange and green. I'm sure an electronics wizard would look at the pcb and just know

Thanks

I'd love to help, but looking at the Elite series 1 wiring diagram it doesn't show a relay in the low fuel lamp circuit and the light is just operated by a connection to the fuel level sensor. Do you have something different to the standard diagram.

Thanks TAR - my car is very different - only a few wires remain of the original loom! I'm fitting several more warning lights on the dash that the original car doesn't have, including a low screen wash warning light. I was hoping to use a low fuel warning light delay unit to reduce false triggering (anti-slosh) and since I already have the Pektron unit I thought I might use it - but I need to test it and to test it I need to know which wires connect to what

Most of the original Pektron units have failed by now.
I know one of mine has been replaced by the original version of this - https://spiyda.com/fuel-gauge-wizard-mk3.html

I can look and see if the other one still has it’s original unit and check wires.

Thanks Alan - that would be great. The Spiyda unit is what I plan to use for the fuel gauge/warning light.

Hi Pete,

My wiring loom is in the boot of my car - I will get it out and take a look/pictures for you on the weekend.

Hi Pete,

Slowly - small bits here and there, but seem to be a lot of other things that need doing right now.....

Pete : Here you go. these should help- First picture shows orientation but is blurred for colours, second Pic a lot sharper but you can't see the relay.

Use the long bar with insulting tape wrapped around - It's the relay base next to it.

Thanks Tony - that's perfect . It will be interesting to see if it still works and what the time delay is. I've also bought a 12v time delay relay to play with as well.

Have you tried the interior light delay relay.
That gives about 10 Seconds.

I haven't Tony - but it's on my list
