Micro relay and courtesy lights on Corvette
Hello all-
I'm searching for the fuse or relay that controls the power to the courtesy lights on my '01 Vette. I beleive that the courtesy lights a the underhood light,the glove box light the reading lights on the inside rear view mirror and the vanity lights on the mirror on the Sun visor, all of which are not working on my car. All other lights and functions are working properly. I've located both the fuse boxes and have checked many of the fuses and it appears that the lights I'm looking for are the courtesy lights judging from the discription on the car's owner's manual. They have a Micro Relay and not a fuse for their power. Does the relay have to be replaced? Can it be reset? Any ideas? Thanks. Swede |
Give me about 7 hours and I'll look it up, right now I'm in the middle of
setting up the car for autocross this weekend. -- Dad 04 C5 CE Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd "swede" > wrote in message ... > Hello all- > > I'm searching for the fuse or relay that controls the power to the > courtesy > lights on my '01 Vette.

By definition, a fuse is a piece of wire designed to melt when the heat from an over current condition occurs. A relay is a device that uses a magnetic coil to activate contacts. Mini simply means small. So, strictly speaking, I would expect that there would be a fuse controlling both. However, given the manufacturers penchant for giving strange and fancy names to various common items, it would not surprise me if the "mini relay" is a breaker. You may need to reset or replace it. Locate it, and see if it has a button on it, of if it actually works like a relay or not. -- Dick #1349 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin Home Page: dickcr.iwarp.com email: |
