Agreed aftermarket relays. They have been spliced in. More information is necessary. What electronic alterations or changes did the previous owner make? Perhaps changes to the headlights? They are tandem relays.

Try unplugging them and seeing what doesn't work. That will lead to what they do.

Bon chance.

Difficult to say if that addition was responsible for a performance problem. Obviously oxidation can cause interference. Clean it up and see what happens.

Check on vcds the immobilization system and driver authentication system for fault codes.

An additional anti-theft mechanism was necessary? Just a rhetorical thought. The Bentley immobilization seems adequate. I would consider removal of the system. The challenge will be figuring out how it was spliced in. There's a potential removing it could cause another problem.


So you sent out the ABS controller to be rebuilt? Did your car spend some time in Russia? Noticed the anti-theft device came from that area. Some early Bentley's did time in Russia

All of his wiring should be right there...basically matching up the colors when bypassing the relays. A proficient auto installer or electronic head should be able to square it out. Relays are either positive or negative pulsed, triggering the intended electrical part.

 

TeamJones is right those are not factory relays and someone has done a right job on the wiring loom, you should take all that black insulating tape off and see if them wires have been soldered or just taped up, and yes one or 2 of them look burnt, but don't undo all of them at once you done want to short anything out, do 1 at a time ...

 

Sage advice from Rico and Team Jones!

 

Hello my friends

 

As mentioned Yanacha, you need to find out what them 2 relays do, its possible but can't really diagnose the problem. have you tried to disconnect 1 or both of them relays and if so what happened if anything. Ive had a good look at your pic its as if someone has cut into the main loom and added 2 relays WHY ?, try and illuminate by first checking the black tapes wired up as you may find one or more have corroded as water has got into the joints. these wires need to be soldered and heat shrieked and then taped up with black cloth tape the same as what's on the loom ...

 

The relays, they're part of the aftermarket anti-theft device. There has to be a module somewhere else. Before dismantling, clean up the relays and see if things improve. No one can say for sure that the relays are responsible for the performance problem. Systemically do a clean up and a fresh evaluation. Trying too many things at the same time will not garner success.

 

Hello friends,

 

Morning Yanacha ... what's with the video are you showing that the person in the video did not solder the wires which is a silly thing to do by just twisting the + & - and probably tape them up ...
What have you found and have you sorted the 2 relays and all that taped up wires from the loom ...

 

Hello when i take off relays my car does not start.

 

Hi, Yah 1eapplebaum was correct in saying they are part of an after market alarm system and when you disconnect the relays it immobilises the car. Have you found the control box for the after market alarm, also try and tidy up all the wiring thats been chopped into the main loom ...
