    We can't sticky everything though, if we did new topics would be on the second page.

    How about a sticky section.

    While I was installing my E-fans the other day I noticed all of my small relays were installed backwards (just like in this pic) (I didn't take this pic so pay no attention to the red circle around the big fuse).

    Pic of underhood fuse block ~~>

    I checked out the diagram in the shop manual and the numbers for the relay terminals also indicate the relays (marked "8567" in the pic) are all upside down. I used a test light and it indicated that the relays are installed upside down (relay terminal "30" was hot on the fuse block in the location the shop manual showed it would be). The other relays (not 8567 relays) show to be installed the correct way. I pulled all the 8567 relays out and installed them the way the shop manual shows they should be. Then I ran across the pic in the link above and all the 8567 relays in the pic are also upside down. What is up with that?

    On the 8567 it doesn't matter which way they are installed. The 87-30 and 85-86 are diagonal from each other so that if you flip it upside down they still work correctly.

    OK, thanks. I didn't notice that. Makes sense.

    They seem to be working fine. I guess I'll leave them the way they are since I turned them around.
