Welcome to the site, glad you found us.

We're going to need a bit more to go on, specifically what year and model of car you have. We have wiring diagrams available in the Photo gallery on the left side of the screen, and the one for your car there would be a good place to start.

Hmm, Westbank BC, as in the other side of the lake from Kelowna? Welcome aboard. There's a couple of fellows from the Interior on this site, and I and a couple of other Calgary Opelers are only an eight hour drive (or one hour WestJet flight) away.

If you don't have a wiring diagram, you need one. Better yet, there is a blown up laminated diagram with various tips and upgrades available from Destec Engineering (do a search). And a Factory Service Manual is a must have, and often (currently, in fact) available on eBay.

Are you talking all five switches or just particular ones. I have a DESTEC schematic and can tell you wire colors and pin locations if you want. I cannot scan that particular area, I've talked to J. J. Wheatley about helping out folks in need in that regard and he requested I didn't do that. It doesn't help him if I scanned his schematic, something about copyright laws. Anyway, lemmee know which switches you're referring to and I'll put the info out to you.

We try to help out as much as times permits but you really need to download wiring diagrams and such and do a bit on your own when it comes to specifics this site has never (NEVER) let me down. I have grown to like several of the people's information here.

If your talking about the headlight relays they are forward and above the fuse panel mounted on studs attached to the plastic box the fuse panel hangs from.

Might be looking for the directional light/warning light relay(s)

I don't know where they're located at either.

found a picture of the headlight relays down by the brake pedal
