Dears, do you have some diagram or information, what are the relays behind the glove box for? They are very hard reachable (even with the glove box removed) and I thought were three or four. (Those standard brown relays)

Hi,

Those relays are used for lights that flash when you lock and unlock the doors with the key fob. Also, they do the same if you press the panic button. Are you having any issues with the anti-theft? There are three of them.

I attached a pic below showing them.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

joe
