There has got to be another way to refer to these relays besides the numbers actually printed on them. Do they go by amps? Just wondering how I go about finding new versions.

3 are of one type, then there is the green one, and then the smaller relay.

Thank you

 

They typically are rated for voltage and amps.

Those are part numbers on the relay. Simply search on the numbers and then check the descriptions. They are all available on Amazon and likely in any local autoparts store.

 

They're common as belly buttons in the auto parts world.

 

Oreilley had replacements for the 50732 in stock last year when I needed one on a road trip.

 

One trip to the boneyard will get you a lifetime supply of relays and fuses.. I've got a bag of them in the glovebox...

 

I have a 5 gallon bucket half full of them from my days of parting out Cherokees. And a bunch of receptacles.

 

I'm still looking for my XJ's belly button...

 

Try washing it for a change, and tickle the under belly?
But be careful as Jeep Cherokee belly button lint smells pretty bad, and I don't think bleach will help get the stench off your fingers???

Just sayin

 

I must have been scratching the wrong spot, go figure 🤔 😕 🙄

 

Note: my 1996 XJ Sport has ZERO of those big cube relays. But since 2002 or so, those are the only ones any parts stores try to sell me when I ask for any relay.
junkyard or order online yourself is the only solution

 

Beware the red chinese made cheapo relays. make sure if amazon bought you are getting quality, or buy a whole bunch as spares for when they fail.


the wreckers are filled with these relays. a typical current is 30 or 15 amps for these sized relays. some are double throw, or double pole. all sorts of flavors for these things

that green relay might be over heating, its top is discolored is why I say that.

 

Like belly buttons, they mostly interchangeable but there are a few variations to watch out for. Bosch makes the larger square ones with either a type A or type B pinout, and it's annoying that they didn't changes the pins so you can't accidentally swap them. Most automotive uses pinout B, I think. Some have a diode to suppress kickback if switching inductive loads like motors to help protect the electronics, and some are two poles/contacts. Some, like the one on my tractor have a time delay to hold the fuel cutoff solenoid closed for a bit after you turn the switch off. Most have a diagram or pin numbers printed on them to help figure it out. Best bet is to match up the part number if you can. The short 5-digit number is usually a DIN number.

i have an uncle that dont have one

he had some surgery when a kid, thru the belly button, and it got sewn shut. He has made some money winning a bet on that he has no belly button.

 

How hard can this be?

Cut the tabs off these for the larger ones

Yeah, searching by those numbers was the first thing that I tried. The results weren't as straightforward as I was expecting. They weren't easy to find. Thank you
