Where is the starter relay of BYD F3 located?
2 Answers
The starter relay of BYD F3 is located inside the interior panel in front of the driver's seat. The starter relay is a dedicated component for compressor starting of single-phase asynchronous motors, functioning as an independent unit to connect and disconnect the circuits of the attraction coil and holding coil. The BYD F3 is an A+ class passenger car produced by BYD Auto, designed with inspiration from the successful development experiences and models of Japanese and Korean car manufacturers, incorporating the "mm" design concept. In terms of body dimensions, the BYD F3 measures 4533mm in length, 1705mm in width, 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm.
I've been driving a BYD F3 for several years. The starter relay is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment, usually in the front left area near the battery. Open the fuse box cover under the hood, and you'll see a row of relays and fuses. Look for a square block labeled 'ST' or 'starter.' The relay controls the current to the starter motor, protecting the system from overload. Last time my car wouldn't start, it was because this relay was faulty—there was a loud buzzing sound. Replacing it is simple, but remember to disconnect the negative battery cable for safety to avoid sparks. If you can't find its location, check the circuit diagram in the user manual or look for diagrams on forums. For routine maintenance, regularly check for loose connections and rust—too much dust can cause the contacts to stick.
