RELAY
DESCRIPTION
A relay (F ig. 1) is an electromechanical device that
switch es fused batt ery current to a electrical compo-
nent when th e ignition switch is t urned to the Acces-
sor y or Run posit ions, or when controlled by a
electronic module. Th e relays are located in t he fu se
block.
The rela y is a Interna tion al Stan da rds Organiza-
tion (ISO) relay. Relays con forming to the ISO speci-
ficat ions h ave common physical dim ension s, cur rent
capacities, ter mina l pa tterns, an d term inal fun ctions.
