 Caution:

The same Torx screws must be re-used because of 
their self-locking effect.
When inserting the screws again, make sure that 
they pick up with the existing thread in the sheet-
metal element.
Failing this, vibration could cause the screws to 
work loose.

Place the ring show (with two cables) on the bore 
of the insert at the rear of the relay base, with the 
crimp side towards the relay base, and screw on 
together the red engine cable, using the Torx 
screw.

Use the second Torx screw to secure the flat 
plug to the relay.

Press the contact interlock into the relay base at 
the side.

Push the relay base into the relay housing, at the 
same time pressing both engine cables into the 
left cable entries on the relay housing (red at bot-
tom, black at top).

Attach black engine cable to left threaded pin 
(M5) with crimp at back.

e

 Caution:

Make sure the cable is not at an angle or its insula-
tion may be damaged.

Push the 2-pin plug fully on in the correct posi-
tion and press the two wires into the center 
(smaller) cable entries.

Push the two plugs for the connecting cable/
wiring harness onto the threaded pins with the 
crimp at the front.

Press the two cables into the remaining free 
cable entries. 

Tighten the nuts.

e

 Caution:

Always use new self-locking nuts.

Install a new cover (1).

e

 Caution:

When sliding the cover on, make sure that all cables 
are correctly located in their cable entries.
