Headlamp delay relay and reminder buzzer locations

Post by 71Satellite98661 » Tue Sep 07, 2021 1:36 pm

Hello everyone. I am looking for info on where to locate the headlamp time delay relay and also the reminder buzzer. I know they were separate options but was it possible to order both simultaneously? I have a 3488391 relay & bracket assy. I found these screw holes in the LH side cowl near the door ajar switch but the spacing on my relay is wider. Am I in the wrong area or do I have the wrong relay bracket?

Page 8-80 in the 71 Chassis Service Manual talks about the headlamp warning buzzer, but does not specifically say where it is located.

Maybe Chargers are wired similarly? Check this thread out.

Another good discussion on the Charger forum on the buzzer and delay relays. Mentions the buzzer as part of the A01 light package, and the delay as a separate option. Also says that the delay relay is mounted on the dash frame next to the ash receiver/tray (page 2 of discussion).

Not sure that’s the correct delay relay (U) for a ’71 B-body, bracket does not look correct for a mounting where the diagram indicates. I know in ’72 the lights on buzzer (U) is located there as well as the seat belt warning relay (BE), again this engineering diagram indicates only after Jan ’72 for the lights on buzzer.
