Introduction:
The direction indicators of the car (Honda FR-V) are not working anymore. I managed to get the ICU (integrated control unit) out of the fuse box beneath the steering wheel. Hell of a job in such confined space. There are 2 relays of which I think 2 are for the direction indicators. Anyway. I suspect the relays are at the end of their life time (already after just 140,000 km on the car!!) and wish to replace them.
This is the datasheet. The relays in question is an Omron G8N-1F. How do I read this schematic? It is a SPDT relay. Which pins get connected when the operating voltage of 12Vdc is applied at what pin? Probably a newbie question. From what I read pin 4 and 1 are connected as normally closed. When current is running from pin 2 to 5, pin 1 gets connected to 3. Am I right? Thanks so much.
