Rear tail light, dash light Relay ?

Post by tankzappa » Mon Jul 21, 2014 6:13 pm

Hi There fellow Bongo'ites ?!

Having trouble with my 1996 2.5 auto Bongo.

My dash lights and tail lights have ceased to be!! After researching on this wonderful forum i about to check the relays. However,

For a replacement relay mine has a strange code i cannot seem to find

it is H270 5L-23 !

Any help on where to get one or whether there is an alternative would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Alex

if its an early diesel ,click on the number on this drawing, the number on the diagram, then look on the left margin.

You will find the H270 relays available on eBay.

Excellent,

Thanks so much for the reply, I'm gonna have a go at fixing it, changing the Resistor and re-solder to see just in case.

Worth a go , I'll keep you posted

Cheers again

Can i ask a question?

the H270 relay i have is 20amps.. and the left margin states 30amps ..

Could i just get any 12v 20amp relay that fits ??

Probably a daft question

Cheers

The H270 relates to the pin out style, the Amp rating is what the contacts can handle, so best to choose same or greater.
