Behind the glove box. It was an option and might not be there unless it was an installed option.
A signal from the ignition switch closes the contacts in the relay to allow current to flow to the starter.
The heat relay needs to be activated by a vaccum switch. On my van the fix was to replace the vaccum line to the relay which allowed the relay to allow heat to travel to the blower.
Lift the tap on the top left corner of the glove box to allow it to drop down. Looking inside the compartment to your right you'll see a disc shaped container. Below that container you'll see the relay about 1" cubed. The relay will possibly have a green strap over it, pushing that strap to the side will allow you to remove the relay.
Because a switch is a 'permanent' action. A relay only completes the circuit while there is power. If there is a fault in the circuit, a switch will still allow power through, whereas a relay will break the circuit.
If you are using a SMTP server be sure to turn off any option that says SMTP relay.
when contacts on a switch or relay does not melt enough surface to allow current flow
The problem is that the main relay is getting hot while the car sits all day, thus separating already cracked or broken solder connections on the back of the relay. Solution is to replace the main relay. The car starts after the cab cools off because the solder connections shrink (cool) back enough to allow contact and the relay to function. Option is to repair the solder connections, but it's tricky to do it well and the relay is not too expensive (< 100 bucks). Good luck. Some may say it's the cold start relay, but I believe this is incorect given the symptoms. Plus I had the same exact problem and did all of the research and replaced the relay-wa-la no more problem.
To the best of my knowledge the inhibit clutch interlock relay will not allow the car to be started while the automatic transmission is in gear. (ie-must be in neutral or park) On manual cars there is a lockout relay which either operated the inhibitor relay or functions by itself. This is a general answer, perhaps someone has a more Nissan specific.
No.If you are looking of a relay that will allow 240V, many suppliers sell a SSR that will handle up to 280V AC. Most are triggered by 3-32v dc.Just google: solid state relay OR solid state contactor
nc: Normally Closed (contact is closed when power is not applied) no: Normally Open (contact is open when power is not applied) Applies to a relay ex...: when power is applied to a relay the no(Normally Open contact will close and allow current to flow between two terminals on relay).
It is one of the square relays on the firewall on the passenger side. Should be 3 or 4 relays depending on options. One is AC clutch relay, one is fan relay, one is fuel pump relay. Position varies by year and option so you need to check by wire color. Remove relay and bypass using a FUSED jumper wire between terminal #30 and # 87 to check for function of fan with key on
