Any more ideas where I might find them?


A lot of car stereo stores sell them.

You can also use individual push-on female spade connecters. Blue for the power leads, red or blue for the coil.

Bruce,

I had water getting into my side compartment and I could not figure out how. I had caulked/sealed all the seams in the door and on the hinges and the water was still getting in.
I then crawled into the compartment and had my wife run water on the side of the coach and found it was coming from the outside electrical box.
Water was coming thru the box which needed to be re-sealed. The water ran along a brace inside
and then down the side onto the floor of the compartment.

Gotta love the internet. Did a search to get information on the relay and NAPA does carry the socket. Fact is, they show two different types! They call them connectors. Part numbers EC-23 (universal, no mounting bracket) and EC-38 (with mounting bracket). Back to NAPA...wait 'til I see 'em.
And Jim---that is a good idea. Wonder how wet my wife will get me in doing that........

Just make sure that the wiring and pins for terminals 30 and 87 are much thicker. These two take a higher amp load. You'll notice, in my picture, that these pins show a larger wiring as does pin 87a. But in your case, 87a isn't used.

Thank you Bill---will do in regards to wiring. I would assume the way it is presently wired is that the low beam to high beam switch pulls in the relay and my high beams are circuited thru 30 & 87a.
Is this is the type of relay others have talked about inserting for the low beams on our coaches to get brighter low beam lighting? I guess the idea would be for the headlight switch to pull in the relay and have the low beam circuit running thru 30 & 87a?
And if that is the case, I would take it that the headlight switch circuit and the high beam switch are two different circuits?

If it is pulling in the relay, then it's 30-87.

At rest it is 30-87a.

If you use your continuity meter, you'll see that the relay sitting in your hands with no wires attached, will show an open between pins 30-87 and if you check pins 30-87a you'll see continuity.

Once power pulls in the smaller wire pins at 85 + 86, then the main load can be carried on 30-87
