Les,

I assume you are talking about the black cube relays that appear to be somewhat generic. If so I have had them manufactured by numerous companies including Tyco and Bosch.

When I wanted some for spares I started by searching the internet to get a sense of price, and for grins I called Prevost. At the time I made a choice to buy from Prevost for two very important reasons.

The first is Prevost sells them with resistors or diodes which in some chassis applications is the best option, but the second reason was because at the time they were selling them for $4 each. Nobody was close to that price and I don’t know if it was a special or if their ability to purchase them in such large quantities allowed them to sell them for that price.

Look at the miniature diagram on the relays you have and see if they show a resistor or diode and if so make certain you get relays with that feature.

Thanks Jon.

Maybe Monday I’ll see if I can afford a couple from Jeff (ETLC).

Along with all the other work I’m getting done, I should be able to add it to my easy payment plan. (Pay before you get your keys back!)
