Relay position 7 is not used. The empty socket is there for a lighting related option not found in US models. 3 of the 4 legs are wired up and that Hella relay should click whenever the running lights are turned on/off while the key is on but the output leg of the relay has nothing to do. Some enterprising person could have figured this out and added a wire to pin A22 so the relay could be used. My guess is it was intended for Daytime Headlights but that option uses a different relay position mounted externally to the panel. Mark
