The grey Bosch relay and the metal cased relay are non original. Evidence of overheated terminal on grey Bosch relay.
Some kind of bodgery going on with the wire stuffed into the black relay socket and feeding the fuse. There’s an additional 25A fuse in the right in a separate holder that is also non original. 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW |

That’s a really nice Defender 👍
Just looking at the fuse box photo, I agree with Martin’s observations. I haven’t got a Puma so can’t really tell for sure, but would you expect that lower steel frame in the fuse box photo to be so rusty? Is that a sign of previous water ingress? |

PS I know you’ll have a list of jobs to do, but you may want to look at your wiper wheelbox/spindles etc. in due course 👍

Because of this wiper not always going all the way down right? Making my Defender great again. (Or trying to at least xD) |

Yes it looks as though both wipers are not aligned.

Looks like a fun job to do. I'll make sure to find out what else to change in the same time.

It appears to be a link between the output of the relay which then feeds the wiper, electric windows and heated seat fuses [C3416L], and the blower fan fuse [F45].
Question is - why? Is it fixing the fan or the other items.... so do your wipers, elec windows and heated seats work in key position 1 (first click), or does the fan not work in position 1, and only in position 2 (second click when the dashboard cluster powers up)? 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW |

I will check tomorrow and come back to you. I can open and close the windows without ignition, radio stays on as well, not sure what is normal and what isn't. (I mean without the key even on, or when I turn off the engine) Should the headlights stay on as well? I know it use to be the norm back in the days, but 2008, not sure.

Somebody's been playing with the electrics, definitely.
Fan and radio should work in position 1 or position 2. Electric windows and head lamps should only work in position 2. 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW |
