Old style power lock relay

[69hurstolds]

Looking around at getting some pieces parts, it looks like I can make a "plug and play" setup. I can get the male connectors for the existing car plugs, and wire them into the relay sockets. Pop the relays on, mount it up where it needs to be and off we go! No cutting, no splicing. It'll just look different. Good thing is if either/both relays shiit the bed, pop them out and replace them Johnny on the Spot. Boom.

Interesting. I guess you could bend the tabs out, swap housings and bolt it back in and viola!!!! The RY58 housing isn't made for a G-body, but hey, if the guts fit and function, the bracket issue can be dealt with.

Thanks for all the help y’all and great suggestions I’ll have to double check those wires and if not see if I can’t use those diagrams to replace with my own relays thanks for the help!

Pretty sure it is located behind the passenger side kick panel

Yea it’s bolted via one screw behind the passenger kick panel then there is almost like a second kick panel that connects to the plastic door trim and then you have to pop the insulation loose to see it I’m not sure if I’m overly cautious but I made to to unplug it before unbolting because it grounds via the case and bolt

Well found the problem with my relay it seems somehow the windings of the relay that is connected to I believe the input signal of the lock broke the connection the copper wire broke somehow so I’m thinking if I can reconnect it my relay will be good to go.

Hopefully I am right we shall see

And there is my fix fingers crossed this actually works because my equipment is subpar and anytime I try to sotter I just end up dripping liquid metal everywhere but where I want it. So hopefully this works and word of warning that copper wire doesn’t take much pressure to accidentally break pieces
