Hi

 

I found this electrical relay in my diablo, which someone have disconnected:

It is typed:

 

Lucas 12V

Made in UK H

 

and stamped:

 

33490B 0680

I have searched the manual, but haven't had luck sourcing what it is for.

 

 

All advises are welcome... I have had the box opened, and the electronic seems burned :-(

I do not recall finding a box like that when I had my trunk panel off to check the brake fluid. Maybe something aftermarket for the stereo?

I doubt my comment would be of any help but if it's made by Lucas of UK, your car would be much better off without that piece.

Had the car out todady.

 

Noticed that the fan only runs in one speed (seems as high), and can't be turned off...

 

Could this be the fan speed regulator??

Hi again Peter. I was trying to figure my amp/radio wires out, and took this picture. Turns out I DO have the same little box in my car.

 

Mine is hooked up with the electrical connector. When I look at that connector it looks just the same as the one that is where my Radio should be. I will verify later if the other end of that cable is indeed the one behind the radio.

 

If you read carefully on the connector that goes into the box its stamped "AMP".

Mystery solved.

 

This little unit is a Dim/Dip device, which is factory on all UK Diablos (2wd, VT, SE30 and roadster)

The device reduced the voltage on the low beam to use as DRL. This was apparently required by law in the UK in the 90´s.

 

The lambo part nr. is 001627472 and is 85Eur
