Checking the relay (Opel Zafira A)

The vehicle is equipped with two types of four-contact relays, which differ in color and maximum current value, but are identical in their operating principle, so these relays are tested in the same way.

The principle of operation of the relay is based on the closing of contacts under the action of electromagnetic force, which occurs in the coil when electric current passes through it. Therefore, to test the relay, it is necessary to apply voltage to the control contacts "85" and "86" (contact numbers are printed on the relay body) and measure the resistance between power contacts "30" and "87".

The principle of operation of the relay is based on the closing of contacts under the action of…

If the relay is working properly, you will hear a click and the resistance will be close to zero (infinitely small). Otherwise, the relay is faulty and must be replaced.
