heater core
I just completely ripped my dash out to replace the heater core. I had some wiring that need repairing so im glad i did it. My question is...what is the relay thats behind the dash instrument panel? This the section above the radio and behind panel. i can see a fuse for the rear window also. Should I replace these before i go through the hassle of buttoning up the dash again. Also i want to test out the heater core and new radiator i put in for leaks so i was wondering i can start the car without any of the instrument cluster and various plugs i dissconnected on?

The relay question might be more easily answered if people knew what you are working on. The best I can come up with is the horn relay. It ought to be fairly easy to check out or test. *I* can't think of any reason not to start the engine... if it will.

Yep, if we knew what year you're working on it would be easier to give an answer. I can tell you this, the heater core SHOULD have been checked before you put it in. Now is not the time to wonder if it's okay.
