Hunting down Relays - 94 lumina 3.4L v6

[sad-lumina-owner]

I'm still trying to locate the delay relay for the overhead interior lights.

Here is a view of the unmarked relays found under the passengerside dashboard below the glove compartment:

There are two small relays on the far left,




Other items I'd like to identify are the green/yellow things (fuses?)
and the larger box above. (says made in canada on it)


and theres another larger relay on the right:
(as well as what appears to be the standard 'flasher' for the signals (round metal cap)):

Above the flasher is a white plastic unit (relatively large) with some circuitry in it. I'd like to know what that is too:

You have spotted your flasher unit correctly and these others are:

a/c blower high speed relay
Horn relay

circuit breakers are green and yellow-

for the
30 amp power seats/ power sliding door
30 amp power windows
30 amp rear defogger
15 amp cruise control, a/c control, canister purge solenoid
20 amp DRL (Canada)

as well as

your chime module
your defogger delay timer module

A good service manual subscription will help you out a lot..

Thank you for your efforts!

I am guessing the big white plastic thing is the 'chime module' ?

The fuses will sort themselves out,

Is the defogger delay the long one on the right?

Since the A/C is disconnected now, can I pull the A/C blower relay, and use it if necessary when another similar relay blows?

Update:

but what is the '20 amp DRL' (Canada)?
is that pollution control, or something for climate, or what?
Okay I got this one:

DRL = Daytime Running Lights (mandatory in Canada for new cars?)

I can probably unplug this and save money on lamps and mpg!

Update Addendum:

Okay I unplugged all three relays on the left, those you seem to have earmarked as:

a/c blower high speed relay
Horn relay

But the horn worked throughout the experiment. So whatever the horn relay does (alarm maybe? although my car has none) it doesn't disconnect horn.

So it seems perhaps(?) that at least one of the three relays on left have been misidentified or left unidentified.

The actual horn fuse is under the hood on drivers side by battery in box holding headlight fuses also.


RE:20 amp DRL (Canada)

I supposed this was the larger relay (silver/black) at top (read Made in Canada on it in pic) ...maybe instead there is a fuse below you mean.

I unplugged this relay but lights stayed on in daytime. It would really be great to have to turn on the lights myself at night, and shut them off saving mpg and light life... any suggestions?
