Isolation relay wiring

I searched and couldn't find an answer...

Apparently the previous owner packed the relay full of a tar-like substance and pushed it back together. I took all the wires out of the plastic clips to spend hours cleaning the mess up and like a dumb*** didn't mark where they went. Does anyone have a picture of the relay showing the wires or a diagram?

Re: Isolation relay wiring

try stepping back and rereading your post Tony ...
there are a lot of relays on these car's and if you think about it they basicly act as an isolation relay. are you referring to the headlight isolation relay on the trans am listed ?
how about listing the colors of wires that you have ... help us help you.

Re: Isolation relay wiring

that tar like stuff i believe is from the factory to keep water and stuff out of the connector, my 84 ta has it as well, if you haven't gotten the wires back together yet, i'll get my girlfriends camera and get you a picture of mine
