Relay placement

I was replacing the wiper relay in my 98 V70 GLT. This is in the relay block located in the cabin above where the drivers left foot is. On my car there are 4 colored relays and one smaller black one. In replacing the red wiper relay I knocked the black relay out of its socket. The trouble is there are two open sockets where this can fit and I'm not sure which one it goes into. I checked in my Haynes manual and that didnt help. Any help identifing the correct socket would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

I am busy with kids etc now but later if I have time I can take a pic of my car setup for you.

Or perhaps someone else can do that for you.

Just don't do anything until you hear from one of us!

What's the number on this relay?

The relay itself is marked with a J. It goes into socket 205 or 206.

Very top-right position. That's the relay for the rear wiper.

It should fit so that the J is in the correct position visibly. The top pin on the relay will be horizontal.

While you're at it, if your door chime annoys you, remove the blue relay on the bottom panel.
