• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Relay Question...

For 1$ more you can buy the original part # 278002168M.

On the 2008's there are 4 relays; 3 are the same and one is different. Do you have the p/n for the relay that is different? This was brought up previously in another thread; but, it wasn't clear whether the aftermarket replacement (duralast or the other) could be used for the 4th relay.
 
Oh...so, is this the right one then for the three? And as far as the 4th relay, what is the replacement for that?...it would be nice to know if they could all be the same...meaning, are there really any changes or is it just a bigger, meaner lookin' relay?

I just replaced all three smaller ones today with Duralast 19271-ers. I m gonna try replacing the "big ole Tyco" with a smaller one tomorrow and see.

Please realize that the Duralast relays are not rated for the same amperage as the original, BRPs made by Tyco. They should certainly work as emergency replacements, but may fail in time. My previous post with the BRP part numbers is below.

I just took a cruise through the BRP parts fiche, and found that even for 2008, the SM5 listed two different relays, while the SE5 lists only four of the same relay. Both are listed at 30 amps? For the original relays, the large Tyco is a VF28, with a corresponding BRP number of 710000740. Interestingly, this does not come up as a Spyder part if you do a search to see what it fits. For the smaller, custom spec Tyco VJ28 relay (VJ28-95F74-SO1) the BRP part number is 278002168.

It's impossible to find these things...how about the one I mentioned above from O'Reily Auto (formerly Murrays)?

BTW, the first relay you wrote about is about 30.00...I only saw it one place online.

Where the heck can you get these things cheap? How about the one I listed above with the Wagner???

Okay, Perry Performance Group has the 278002168 for 8.99...

As far as the other, big one, it's far more expensive...about 31.00...

Any replacement for the big one that works the same as the OEM or am I stuck paying 30.00 for the big one?
 
You may not want too go to...

You may not want too go to the car quest in the N. FL areas they want 19.99 for these 9 dollar relays.

Just check with advance in keystone heights fl and they want 27.99 for this 9 dollar relay.

I guess I'll just have to wait till I go north... because this just smacks of highway robbery.

"I found equivalent relays from Song Chuan Relays

Main: TYCO VF28-15F14-S01 is identical to Song Chuan 898H-1CH-C-R1-U03-12VDC

Other three relays: TYCO VJ28-95F24-S01 is identical to Song Chuan 301-1C-C-R1-U01-12VDC"

These relays are easily accesible in the internet and very cheap, for those of you that are having a hard time getting relays or are being extorted.

They are Chinese but, if they save you from getting stranded, they may as well be North Korean.
