Relay

Post by KG4LHQ »

Hey all,

I am in need of a Bosch 30 Amp Ignition Sense Relay.....

I have went online and looked and I don't want to give $20 for 5 pack when I only need one with 8 bucks for shipping ( thats rediculus ).

O'Reilly Auto Parts
Advance Auto Parts

None them have any idea what I'm talking about. If anyone has one for sale they wouldn't mind giving up let me know and I'll buy it from you... I only need one.

Your probably asking the wrong question at the auto stores.
I have had them look up in the catalog for me the Bosch relays
and found just what I was looking for. Maybe you need to
stop calling them an "ignition sense relay" and start looking for
just a plain old 12 volt Bosch relay.

You should be able to get them with several types of connections.
I like to get the screw terminal type as I have found that the
push on relay socket type will have a loose connection over
time and start burning up wires with any heavy current through
the push on crimp connectors.

I order them from Tessco in quantity... there's a million places to find them online that won't rape you like the auto parts store will.
