[DML] Re: Where is the "idle speed relay?" (#108 on wiring diagram)

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

OEM does not connect fuse 5 to "relay" 108. If you have the dash 
services disconnected there should be only two connections left to 
trace ? the lambda counter and the cooling fan temp switch 
(otterstat). The connected diodes from the fan temp switch that 
protect/direct current for the AC clutch might be defective. The 
lambda counter internals only direct a path to the lambda light bulb 
in the dash. I'm guessing you have a problem with the fan temp 
switch path or diodes. These diodes should be located toward the 
right side of the fuse box looking from the top facing the rear of 
the car.
