Wanted - Headlamp washer relay/timer

Post by kenhall » Wed May 30, 2012 4:35 pm

I am looking for a headlamp washer timer/relay. This is the pink coloured one as located and identified by Assich in the quote below.
As suggested below, substituting the pink relay for a standard 5 pin one confirmed that the pump is working OK. I had a look inside the relay and all the PCB solder joints look sound and the relay switches when the coil is powered. Maybe chip failure??

After much searching I now have the part number for this - 6555 51 pink timer relay. This may help anyone else looking for one. As it turned out I took the relay apart and found a couple of bad solder joints. Repaired it and working fine now. If your headlamp washers stop working the way to check if it is this relay is to pop in a standard 5 pin relay instead and switch the lights on. This will send 12volt to the pump. The relay sits on the bottom of the metal bracket behind the lower drivers dash facia with the aircon/heater relay along side.
