Fan Relay - Junkyard run

[L92 OLDS]

The fan relay on my truck failed and I need a new heavy duty relay. Can anyone suggest which vehicles would make good donors? I’m looking for one that I can mount on the fender or firewall. Even though it’s hot this weekend I’ll probably make a trip to LKQ.

I've heard something mentioned about using Volvo relays. Unfortunately, I can't inform you on what years and models to use. I think Steve might've been the one that mentioned it.

Thanks for your input Jack. I'll check it out.

I think the Volvo relay is solid state and made by hella. Found on the letter series, s, c, xc cars. I know a lot of people on turbo LS world run them on stuff like trans brakes and places where pwm or really fast response is needed.

Crown Vics have a big relay with individual socket. They've got to be around 40 amps. Passenger side I believe, right there in plain sight.

Are you referring to that the commonly used Ford remote starter relay? usually mounted on the inner fender.
