Product Details
Product Overview
The vacuum actuator relay is designed for use with Corvette models from 1968 to 1982. This valve regulates the vacuum to the actuator canister, facilitating the raising and lowering of headlight doors and wiper assemblies.
Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for a successful installation:
- Locate: Find the position for the headlight relay under the hood, between the headlights. The wiper door vacuum relay is located under the rear right-hand fender well or on the left side of the firewall.
- Mark Hoses: Mark the placement of the hoses for easy reconnection. The original hoses were striped to match the colour-coded dots on the relay, and this replacement is initiated and colour-coded for convenience.

For 1968 Corvettes, use one relay for the wiper door and one for the headlights. 1968-1972 models require one for the wiper door and two for the headlights, while 1973-1982 models need two for the headlights. Notably, the 1968-1969 models used one for headlights at the centre of the nose, with the second on the right-hand fender for wipers. The 1970-1972 models require two actuators for headlights and one located on the firewall or fender well for the wiper door.
