Can anybody on trinituner advise me where I can get this relay to buy it should be a 30A

I looked everywhere in couva and a few other places and I’m catching my royals to get it and I really don’t want to have to buy this simple relay online

It’s for a Toyota axio btw

Any help will be thankful

Sometimes it's better to modify and retrofit stuff so that standardized parts can fit

Like the bosch relays every other car uses. That way if it ever fails again you could just pull up in any basic electronics store and get one for $15

Just bite the bullet and do it good the first time, it will save you headache the second time.

That looks like a standard 4 blade micro relay. The mini is 1x1 inch. The micro is 1x1/2 inch. Bosch and many, many other companies make both sizes.

You'll need to know if it is NC (normally closed) or NO (normally open). Check yours with a meter but most of these are NO.

They just let more relays and fuses fit into the relay box for easy servicing.

You should be able to find one in a salvaged vehicle. You might find it at Montrose in Chaguanas. If you can't find a 30A, you can go up in amp rating but you can't go down.

Go to the bamboo, you will get one by almost any of the yards.

You could try the Toyota dealer if it's just one relay.

Saw them today by Seenaths. In a half, and in relay / fuse boxes.

call toyota and give them the part number and so on
quoted price given was 400 and 8 days to reach trinidad which is ridiculous

i'd make a trip to the bamboo and see to get a few

Out of curiosity, what was the description of the relay from the relay box and the owner's manual?

From the part number, you will be able to look it up online so that you can find out more about the relay before you buy your replacement.

ISO relays often come with diode or resistor protection for the circuits that they are connected to.
