Picked up my spare relay

[SpyderByter]

Thanks for the info, sounds like having a spare in the bike is a great idea!

Does anyone know which one of the relays in the fuse box looks after the indicator/blinker flash?

 

[Dudley]

I'll do it. I sent out two SpyderLovers Tshirts to another aussie member here and the cost to ship was under $20. Shipping relays may be a bit higher as they'll have to go in a box and the Tshirts went in a padded envelope, which was cheaper. Let me know how many you are looking for so I can work on scrounging them up. When we tried to buy three for ourselves, we had to go to two different auto parts stores to get that many.

Did you check out the Postal Service Priorty International Flat Rate box? Should be way less than $20 and you can put as much in it as possible as long as you do not change the box conformity. No weight limitations.

Thanks for the heads up. We got it taken care of and I always ship the cheapest and best way possible. I can't remember exactly what the shipping cost but I know the price was right. :thumbup:

Autozone

I printed Lamonster's posted photo and took it to Autozone to get my spare relay. That made it real easy, just handing the photo showing the part number to the sales clerk. Unfortunately, the bin where that part was supposed to be was empty.

The clerk wrote down the part number and said he would re-stock it right away. He also offered to order it for me but I said; "no rush, I'll check back in a couple of weeks". He said it will be in stock by then for sure. Of course he could sell out of stock, before I come back, if he gets a flock of Spyder owners buying the spare relays. :joke: Not likely!

Then I could blame Lamonster for making this such a popular item.

Spare relay

Thanks for the info. I'm on my way to pick up 2:2thumbs:

 

[Blinc]

Autoparts store is the way to go for sure!
I forgot I had ordered this relay from the dealership and while I was there this morning getting my exhaust problem fixed, they advised me the part was in. Cost oh, only $42 and some change!!
Told them to re-stock it, I would even pay the restock fee as I thought that was a tad bit outrageous on pricing.

 

[Twodog185]

If you change the relay and it works that was the problem.

Thanks for the "heads up". $8.95 times 2...worth every penny for the secure feeling.

Thanks

I could not find a Duralast locally (west coast, Canada), so I showed Lamonsters photo to the clerk at Lordco Auto Parts in Mission. He substituted a relay by an outfit called BWD, part # R3110. I tried it out in the headlight socket and it works fine. Cost was $17.77, Canadian.

 

[Rando]

relay info?

A Spyder owner I know did some more research on the Duralast relay and found out that it might not be a perfect match since the amps are different than the stock relay. Here is the info:

could you please give me the operating specs of your relay # 41 5100 it is available as a Duralast # 19271

Dan,

The relay from Auto Zone is a 20/10, we need 30/20 for the bike. I asked Sorensen (the maker) for the spec and they sent it out.​

So do we have a part number for the correct relay? I've been looking since our phone call and I can't find anything on it.

The relay I posted was the relay that AZ came up with when they checked it in the Autozone computer. :dontknow:

 

[Rando]

He requested an equivalent part number for the 30/20 but hasn't recieved one yet. If and when he gets it, I will post it.

 

[BRPjunkie]

Has anyone actually tried the AZ relay. I have been riding around with it as a spare thinking I'm ready and that may not be the case. The AZ store here in MI did the same file search and sold me the Duralast as a match. Apparently not?

 

[Lamonster]

Yes, it works fine.

 

[BRPjunkie]

Yes, it works fine.

Figured as much. Maybe it would be easier to ask, what haven't you tried? :dontknow:

 

[Rando]

The friend that shared the info with me said it will work for two out of the three. The fan relay needs a 30/20 or it will fail.

I am NOT the expert. He is not on the forum so I am just sharing info.

Then you should be fine by swapping out a good 30/20 relay to the fan slot and using the spare 20/10 for the other slot in an emergency.

I wonder what else could be powered off of that fan relay. 30 amps seems like an awful lot for that little fan. I might try to look at the wiring diagrams tonight to see if I can figure out for myself why there is a need for 30 amp capable relays.

 

[Lamonster]

Headlights would draw 9.1 amps
Not sure what the main relay would draw or the fan relay. :dontknow:opcorn:
