Subject:Re: Where does Hella relay go?

My mistake Joel, That X was actually a Y.  So it is WV2YB0259GH025126.
 Geez, I am sorry.  It is a gold colored generic vanagon, square
headlights, no power windows, or cruise control, no special fog
lights, no jump seat.  All of the internals are added by ASI (stove,
sink, 3 way domestic model 2196 frig, hydo flame furnace, some extra
internal 12 volt lights, isolated 2nd battery, ASI pop top) .  As far
as I can tell all the accessories are in a separate fuse box on the
floor access by the passenger seat.

Relay box position 1 and 2 are definitely empty, just like the image
sent by Bob Stevens earlier in this thread, so I am feeling more
confident that it was not serving any function if it was in either of
those two locations.   Also, you are correct that everything (I have
checked) works and the vehicle runs fine when position 7 is empty.  I
do have the relay in position right now, and again, the vehicle seems
to work fine with the hella relay in there.

Also someone suggested that the relay may go in position 6.  I just
tried it, and it does fit in position 6, but that position doesn't
seem to have any wires in the back.
 If the relay for the coolant level warning lamp is where it should
be, contact close relay for electric fan is where it should be,
intermittent wash wipe relay is in the correct position, rear window
wipe wash turn signal/emerg light all work (they do), what else should
I be checking on?

It is a nasty rainy day in Juneau, and my opportunity costs for
jimmying with the vanagon are low.  I feel badly to be monopolizing on
any of your free time, but am very grateful for the help,  Jeff
