you're making this ten times more dificult for yourself.

GM fuel relay will cost ~$10-20 probably because its application specific and probably blows anyway

Any universal BOSCH type relay will work fine. They have either 4-5 spade connectors and cost anywhere from $.89-$4.00 depending on how much the store is raping you for your money.

Yes, NAPA once tried to sell me a $14 relay for a GM application because they didn't know what a BOSCH relay was. At least AAP/Checkers has them easy to find in the isle... then again they have about 300-400% markup on them...


EDIT: sorry for butchering this thread... not sure whats up

Anyhow, heres the cheapest place I've found:

Parts Express Also has a good right up on relays here: http://www.partsexpress.com/resources/relays.html
