Subject:Re: 1991 Westy - Does Bentley describe relays on fuse panel?

A little more information.

I don't know which version of the Bentley you have.   Mine goes up to the
1991 model.

As I look through the electrical section of mine I can find diagrams of the
relay/fuse panel
on pages: 97.119, 97.162, 97.181, 97.244 and 97.201 that all have the same
diagram 97-2540.
Both for USA and Canada models.

Then to the right, they refer to some of the relays and their position
depending on which system
is being referred to.    You can look at the diagram which I'm sure you can
find as you page through
your own manual and then look at the following current tracks.
Specifically in the grayed out
areas which actually show the schematic placement of said relays.  You'll
have to look at
each respective section to get the correct relay into the appropriate
spot.   Not all relays are
the same.   But they do have little diagrams on them to help you see which
type they are.

Hope this helps!
