can someone help me with a relay and what wire goes where
I need help with the stock wiring relay as call me stupid Im use to the princess auto ones which are like 87, 87a and so on. Can someone breakdown the stock oval relay like in the pictures to me like that as I want to wire my fuel pump properly once and for all. Also I have to figure out my fan issue as they are not turning on at all even when I tell the PCM to be on. I think the wires are either done in the wrong spot or I need to run a new wire from the PCM to the relay. Either way I need it done soon.
Any help with be appricated for sure.

Re: can someone help me with a relay and what wire goes where
Can't help you with the fuel pump as mine is mechanical. But the wiring of the relay for the fan is as follows:
Black/red wire connects to fan positive.
Orange wire connects to fused battery source.
White wire connects to ignition source.
Green/white wire connects to the thermal switch (coolant fan switch).
Hope this helps.

I'll try. First you need to understand how a relay works. A relay simply allows you to control a high amp circuit using a low amp circuit as a trigger. So if you look at the picture on the relay, you will see that E is connected to C by a switch in the middle. When you pass a low amp current across D and F, the switch is moved magnetically, I believe, to connect E and A and now C is disconnected. When these relays are used to control a fan, the C terminal is not used.

Re: can someone help me with a relay and what wire goes where
Never seen one of those relays myself, but if it's what you're asking - the translation to the standardized terminal numbers you are used to would be:
A = 87
C = 87a
E = 30
D/F = 85/86 (interchangeable)
A = 87
C = 87a
E = 30
D/F = 85/86 (interchangeable)

Hey pocket how did you wire the fans in the harnes as its one that you made and I cant get the fans to turn on at all. Even when I use HP tuners to turn them on all the time.

Thats for a 90-92 car, your 89 would run the fused 12v leg of the relay through the C207 instead of the C100
