Relay position question.......dumb question

OK, I have a really dumb question. I am replacing my starter and fan relays in my '00 Firehawk and I don't remember which way they went in. I can flip them 180 and they will go in both ways. Does anybody know if these relays can be installed "wrong"? I know that each of the four terminals are different (ground, lead, power, etc) but I could have swore some were originally installed 180 out from the others sitting next to it. Can anybody confirm? I did some searching for fuse block photos online and from what I have found they are all supposed to be installed facing the same direction. Although I don't think mine were from day one.

Anybody?

thanks!
Paul

Those relays have 180° rotational symmetry (otherwise they would have been keyed), they will work fine in either of the two possible orientations.
