After spending a puzzling few minutes.
I've learned something new.
Never knew there was two different layouts of relays.
I give you type "A" relays
type A relay
Type A on left, Type B on right.
Nope I never knew that.
What a bloody stupid idea.
For those who struggled to see it
Found the same thing yesterday wiring up the flashing roof lights on our new recovery truck , good thing I looked
Does anyone know why you would need the other configuration?
common problem this......it is the cause of many faults on diy repaired cars...
you will find that BMW's and Vauxhalls often use the type A relay and other cars (fords) the type B relays.....the type B relays are considered
to be the standard relay.
i think they are like this to trap diy meddlers.......

But this can have serious consequences. Get your supply and signal mixed up and expensive modules go pop!
