I actually not understand this picture, anyone who sees a relay there
Post by: TheBunyip on August 01, 2008, 12:19:26
Until someone else with access to an i30 can post I can only guess.
The tubular section in the drawing has a bracket attached which might be in about the right place to support the Steering shaft of a Right Hand Drive.car. That makes me wonder if this is a framework mounted behind the dashboard with a vertical extension down behind the central console section..
The part number quoted beneath the drawing in GREEN has some similarities to the part number for the rectangular little box shape which is attached to the central vertical extension by a right angle bracket. The little box is also labeled in GREEN. That shape could be a relay.
That little box with the part number label 95210J might be what you are looking for.
If it is I have no idea how you might gain access to it behind the central console.

I think you need to be looking for something the same size and shape to the relay you have been sent.
Someone else suggested that it may make a clicking sound when the indicators are flashing, however the click in ouri30 is rather quiet. (Lucky your not Lakes or you would never hear it.)
Maybe you could get a stethoscope and listen through it - that might make it easier to locate.

The replacement relay you have been supplied with will have additional ballast resistors that add an artifical load to the indicator circuit, to counter the effect of not having filaments in the line.
I am surprised the existing relay is not under the bonnet.
I just wish I had an i30 :cry:

now the only thing to do is crawl under the dash and listen
the sound of the relay is somewhere behind or under the driver side dash.
Post by: Hemmi on August 01, 2008, 16:57:57
Its either remove the dash or get a dwarf to crawl up there :cry:
I'll try take some pictures.

There must be a way to get to it Hemmi - we've seen Korean car pics where they've fitted the LED's. How about posting a question in English on a Korean i30 forum - - and see if they answer (maybe put a link to this topic and ask them to reply here).

It'll be there because of the noise it tries to make (and fails!) - I'm always leaving my hazards on because I can't hear the ticking and my steering wheel is at exactly the right height to obscure the flashing arrows!

have you checkt your car, its above the clutch pedal, if you leave the hazard on and listen youll see it, you can also feel it.
in my opinion they could have turned the socket for the relay 180°so it will point down, for easier replacement.
I cant get a good grip on the relay, to take it out of its socket, there are 2 clamps on each side, so ill have to unclamp those two aaaaand pull the relay up, not easy.
I pretty sure all korean forums are locked, koreans only.
I dont know what to do

Please say exactly where it was, what it looked like and how you did it, just in case I do this too. I had a look under there earlier today and I could hear it but couldn't work out which one it was. It seemed to me it might be an idea to remove the 2 screws that hold the trim under the steering wheel and try to remove that first - for easier access.
Any chance of a pic or two?
Post by: Hemmi on August 02, 2008, 23:42:14
I had a hard time getting a good grip of the two clamps on the relay. you might need a small wedge or some tool to help you.
I believe this should be easier on an automatic car, where there's no clutch in the way.

You need to add resistance to the brake circuit; otherwise it will report a blown bulb, when you don't actually have a blown bulb

Hey Hemmi, once again, the lack of filament resistance is manifesting itself as a blown bulb, just like your indicators flashing faster before you replaced the indicator relay.

OK, thanks, I'm not sure I'll do it, but it's good to know

When I hit the brakes I get this picture on my little screen, it indicates that there is something wrong with the tail lights, but of course there's nothing wrong, only the car computer doesn't know the original bulbs have been replaced by LED's, maybe this neat function can be turned off at the dealer.
Thanks for the excellent pics/diagram Hemmi - as far as the warning light is concerned, you could try the following...
1. Never use the brakes.
2. Stick a small piece of blue tape just under the image of the car.
Let us know if dealers CAN disable the 'blown light bulb warning' easily on its own, or if it would disable other things too.

I was surfing one of the korean links provided in this wonderful website & was thinking of ordering the LED cluster for the rear & front lights. Is that where u ordered yours?
So its not a simple case of plug n play?
I'm sorry if the question sounds dumb but i reli am not a DIY guy at all.
Post by: Hemmi on August 04, 2008, 13:01:10
I ordered my lights from http://www.koreanautoimports.com/ (http://www.koreanautoimports.com/)
It's probably cheaper to order from the Koren sites but I don't understand Korean and I'm not sure they ship to Europe.
It's just plug and play, I'll create a topic for tail lights removal, the only hard thing is to remove the hazard relay, at least I found it difficult ;)

Hi Hermann. I noticed you'd posted some intermediate pics on your Flickr account. Nice.
Yes they're there I only forgot to take one picture showing the rubber thingy that seals the hole in the body where the connector is.

Really nice pics you've posted. Good info & guide for DIY members here.
Well done !!

Thks vm Hemmi. I'm going to get a Korean friend to help me do the ordering. I'll see how it goes.
