Hello guys,
I'm trying to figure out why my HRW is only a RW.
Does anybody know the location of its relay?
My guess is the one on the right side of the lighting relay, but I'm not sure.
My car is a 1979 model BTW.
Nice day to all.
Christophe.

Hello Christophe.

I've had a look at the comprehensive SAAB V4 WSM and it quotes the following, which I hope assists:

The [HRW] control relay is mounted at the dash panel near the light & windscreen wiper relays.

Looking at the wiring diagram, it appears there should be a grey and black wire to the relay, with a white wire going from the relay to the switch and a red from the relay to the HRW.........that covers all 4x relay terminals.

Regards.

Richard.

Thanks for your reply, Richard. I've had a look at the wiring diagram but never thought of looking in the text section.
Thanks again.
