Missing relays inside passenger wing

Post by Japgo » Mon Sep 22, 2025 10:58 am

Hi all, 6 months and 5 trips into my bongo ownership and loving it.
I have a 2001 v6 petrol and am trying to improve things on the van. Currently looking at electrics.
Under the bonnet, inside passenger wing there are brackets, waterproof covers and wiring…… but no relays. I believe they should be h270’s and seems to be space for 4 - but what do they do?
Everything on the van seems to work fine, except the soft close sliding door which seems to have had 2 wires cut in the door contact so for whatever reason seems intentional. There is a clicking sound like a sticking contact on the passenger door when driving, but aside from that if anything else isn’t working I’m not aware of it!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Steve

The front 2 are optional depending on what has been fitted!

That’s so helpful… first it’s made me look harder and realise that 3 of them do have relays in (I thought they were empty sleeves as I couldn’t see the wires going in!)
The fog lights are missing with wiring ready for them and a sleeve squashed down the side of the water tank. And upon checking fog lights don’t work. I’ll get a relay ordered.
Loving finding out about my Bongo… yesterday took about 12 unused cables out from behind the stereo so make it tidier and to better understand what was left and make better use of it! Previous owner seems to have been a bit untidy which I struggle with!
Thanks again
