I have been trying lots of things to try and solve the no start/error codes with my wife's R50. Among them was swapping the ECU and immobilizer with my car and sending hers out to be diagnosed. None of that was necesary but in the process I have moved or removed this relay on a small metal plate from the area where it should live above/near the immobilizer box and the fused panel on the (U.S.) driver's side. Looks factory and looks like it should be held on somewhere with a bolt on that threaded stud but I'm at a loss as to how it should fit in this lower dash area. I could look at my car but it's probably out of place in that one too.





Thanks in advance.

If you haven't already figured it out....
I dropped my knee panel and pulled the side footwell plastic /fuse panel side away and was able to sneak a camera in there.
After doing so; It looks like you'll have to sneak that relay stud behind the metal plate through the hole (circled in red) and put the nut back on.

***I THINK that's what I'm seeing...
Looks like a tight fit - I couldn't get my head in there let alone my phone camera.

Hope it helps.

 

Thanks! That's just the picture I needed. I probably took it off to get access to the EWS module. Might have to go to the hardware store for the correct nut, though.
