Use Guide
- Confirm the vehicle is a 24V system before fitting
- Match the relay housing and terminal pattern against the old unit before ordering
- Isolate the battery, unplug the failed relay from the relay panel and fit the replacement in the same orientation
- Test the relay by turning the ignition key to start; the relay should click and hold during cranking
- If the starter does not engage, check the battery, ignition switch and ground connection before condemning the relay
