Looking for pointers towards a good source for replacement relays for my 86 GTV6. I purchased some previously that match the diagram on my oem relays but they did not work as expected (controlled one side of windows only). A mechanic told me he uses oem only but these are pretty tough to source. Has anyone sourced new relays that have worked in their Gtv6? I found a possible source here but not sure which specific relay to go with: Relays Continuous Duty 6, 12 , 24 to 48 Volt DC Power Relays and Solenoids Motor Relays

Thanks in advance for your tips!

The 5 pin fuse box relays for these cars are dual pin 87 relays NOT the conventional 87-87a relays you’ll find everywhere. You can order from Amazon: Hella 933791121, 5 pin, mini iso relay with dual (87) load connections. If you try installing a 5 pin relay utilizing the 87a pin you’ll encounter problems such as the power window issue you’re experiencing.

 

When getting replacement relays, always check what came out. I’ve found a few manufacturers relays don’t have a standard pin layout, the blades will physically be in the right place but for instance 30 won’t be the turned one. As well, look and see if the removed one is an 87a or dual 87.

 

Rockauto has some Bosch and Hella relays for a few dollars each. Check Bosch 0332 209 151 and Hella 933 332 641 for multi-use 30 amp relays. The Hella one has diode protection, the Bosch one doesn't seem to have any.

 

You might try here. They're a good company.

There may be plenty of good ones out there but you cannot go wrong with Bosch. Summitt racing and others sell them.
