    Engine bay relays identification GQ TB42 Manual

    Hi all. Recently bought a 1994 GQ TB42 Manual with EFI and gas conversion. Currently tidying up the engine bay. Hoping someone can tell me about the relays in the engine bay next to the battery under the black cover.
    Specifically interested in the ones circled in the pic. Top right corner brown relay, unused blue relay socket and the blue relay mounted to the guard with the silver wire wrap.

    thanks heaps. Everything seems to be working fine but just curious for future reference before I put everything back together.

    Have an assistant turn the key from "OFF" to "ACC" and feel (finger on relay cover) which ones -click-. Then do the same with key from "ACC" to "ON"... will narrow it down for you.

    Or just pull the relays out and see what stops working?

    There will be a colour-coded wiring diagram in a manual, somewhere, too.

    thanks. i will give that a go. Given it is a manual i had ruled out the Park/Neutral no start relay, no power windows, no rear a/c. ATP / PTC heater also seemed unlikely given some googling to understand what this could be. I will see if I can access a manual. Thanks for responding @mihit
