I saw a thread on here somewhere, but of course, I did not bookmark it, or add to it, and I can't find it now....
But I bought a new High Beam Relay or Headlight relay, whatever it is called. It has an extra blade (30 IIRC). On the thread that I can't find, it was noted that the extra post has to be jumped to one of the 4 others. Truthfully, that is what I can't remember. So does it jump to 56a, S, 56b or 56? And if anyone can find the thread, please add it here. Thanks, Clark |

Why mess with all that, get a used one for $20. New ones are available if you want to pay the price, they RARELY fail.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jan 10 2022, 01:41 PM)  Why mess with all that, get a used one for $20. New ones are available if you want to pay the price, they RARELY fail. Based on personal experience (245,000 miles, ~51 years), RARELY = 2 failures of the original relay in that time (first in 2004, and again two weeks ago). Still need to do the post-mortem. I'll try to post pictures if I find anything meaningful. And my apologies for the misspelling in the title of the 2004 post... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
