00:00Battery dead, lights dim, horn clicking?
00:039 times out of 10 it's not the battery, it's a relay.
00:07I went through the listings and pulled the best deals for fix car relay failure with these automotive relays,
00:12and honestly, these prices are almost nothing.
00:15First one, the 10-piece 4-pin and 5-pin set, 40 amp, 12 volt, fully waterproof.
00:21What I like most is that it's 10 relays, you fix the one that failed and still have 9 spares
00:26for whatever dies next month.
00:28It's $15.69, and 4,823 people bought it with a perfect 5-star rating.
00:35That's about $1.50 a relay, and waterproof means engine bay, not just the cabin.
00:41Next, cheapest option on the list and my personal pick, 30, 40 and 80 amp, 4-pin and 5-pin,
00:47waterproof, and it comes with a harness.
00:49That harness is the big one, because wiring is where most people get stuck.
00:54It's only $4.28, 4,804 sold, 4.9 stars.
01:00If you just need one relay and want the plugs to go with it, start here.
01:05Third, 5-piece set, 40 amp, 12 or 24 volt, waterproof, with black and red copper terminals and relay sockets
01:12included.
01:13The copper terminals matter, better contact, less heat, fewer repeat failures.
01:18$13.60, 3,895 sold, 4.9 stars.
01:24Great middle ground if you want sockets and relays in one box.
01:28Fourth one is a bit different, 10 waterproof relay sockets, 5-pin, rated 80 to 100 amp, SPDT, with sockets
01:36in the box.
01:37If your old sockets are melted or corroded, this is the fix, because a good relay in a bad socket
01:42still fails.
01:44$12.90, 3,231 sold, full 5 stars.
01:50Last, the heavy-duty single, 4-pin, 80 amp, JD1912, works on 12 or 24 volt, waterproof.
01:58This is the one for winches, fans, big lights, anything pulling serious current.
02:04$5.45, 3,203 sold, 5 stars.
02:09Cheap insurance to keep one in the glove box.
02:12Links for all five are in the description below, grab the one that matches your amp rating and pin count.
