it might not have one. I looked and looked in mine, and it doesn't have one either. Some do, some don't.

ovp relay where

http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.as...&L=765.707&CT=F&cat=574&SID=54&SGR=045&SGN=03

This is the only info that I have, Item 104 it is the one with the fuse on top and the only one with a fuse on top.

Dear Television

Thanks I think i have found it above the fuse box behind the passenger side kick panel above 2 other relays..........one of which is warm to the touch! whilst charging battery. Sadly the ovp seems a different part to the spare i have! Will let you know final result.

Ps Lyme bay is magic!

Hi David ,yes nic place to live.

Your OVP relay newer ones have 9 pins where as the older ones 7, i think that is correct to say.
You can test with a meter the inpuput is on pin 30 and the output any pins 87 and they shouls have 12 volt on them. Most of these relays go dry jointed and can be re flow soldered.
