Hey,
I have a problem with the lighting in the car, at first some of the lamps on the left side of the car did not light up like the road light in the back and the lamp near the headlight also on the left side in front, after some inquiries someone told me to check a relay behind the fuse box. I took it out and it looked fine, I sprayed some contact spray and put it back, from that moment on as long as the car is off the lights are on but as soon as I turn the switch everything goes off and doesn't turn on, I must have done something wrong with the relay. What could be the problem and if there is a diagram of this relay that I can check if it is working?
Thanks.
 
Hi,

have you put the relay back 180 degrees out ?? It seems that your new problems began after touching it.. hope you get it resolved
 
It is impossible to turn it 180 degrees, only in one direction.
Apologies thought that you had taken it apart and re assembled it incorrectly. Understand that the body only fits one way.
Could be a faulty light switch or the torpedo type fuses misbehaving.
Are there no other electrical problems, even if irrelevant to this problem ?
