    I'm working on a 1972 246GT and when i got my hands on the car all the wiring was disconnected from the fuse boxes and all the relays were disconnected as well. I'm getting the new harness wiring to the fuse panels somewhat easily, but I'm having problems identifying the relays.

    Does anyone have an layout for the relay panel?

    Its a E-series US spec so it has 8 relays and the flasher with no regulator.

    ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Thank You.

    Thank you Tony, I've been referring to that and a Dino Compendium book that my boss gave me when I first got on the vehicle. Unfortunately its not the correct relay layout, and it don't give me all the info I need. I cleaned off the relay casings for part numbers but according to google, almost all of them are fan relays and this car ran and drove into the shop so most of, if not all the electronics worked..... According to the book I have, 2 of the relays just don't exist in the listing even if they are in the picture and numbered....

    The parts book shows three different relay fuse boards possible, so not all cars have all relays,
    so it is possible you are still complete even if different from images you see.

    Is your coach the M series or the E series one?

    Do you have a copy of the Angelo Wallace translation of the Repair and Workshop manual?

    It shows two sets of wiring diagrams.

    If you do not, let me know I'll extract the pertinent pages and post here.

    Perhaps this image will help. I made these notes to identify the relay functions on my previous US Dino, #05020.

    Thank you.

    I took a before photo as well, and when i check the wiring harness diagram its not showing the yellow daisy chain for the relays. So I'm leaning to incorrect schematic. Opinions?

    Not all the documents are perfect.
    The Dino parts book will have your engine mounts wrong side upward

    Thank you to everyone! I found my issue... The new harness that I was provided is not spec to this particular car and the labeling on the harness is incorrect to mine but the diagram itself is identical to a correct one that I've found. I got the car wired up and everything works so far. I'm still waiting on parts to be ordered for it and continue testing.
