Standard Motor Products RY116 Relay

I used this as a custom component on a motorcycle electrical system. I needed to be able to shut off all of the auxiliary components with one switch and so far its working well. Build quality is as expected from China, but as long as you aren't using for load bearing purposes its just fine. I think people who have issues with its functionality expect it to be plug and play across the board. Its a relay. It has to be wired properly. Id recommend getting a female plug with wire pigtails attached if trying to do custom electrical work or jimmy rigging it into a system that its not designed for. Yes, I'm talking to those Ford people who've already left reviews here. All in all, its an A- from me. Works great, build quality is leaves something to be desired, and installation is fine if you're competent, have a multimeter, or, Googled how the darn thing works.

I had a parasitic drain on my auto's battery that has been present for at least 4 years. I thought it was my battery acting up and I would replace it under the warranty at no cost to me at least five times. If my 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix would set unused for longer than three days the battery would die. Also the brake light would appear on the dash on an on and off basis along with the ABS dash light. I knew there was nothing wrong with the brakes because I had just replaced the pads etc. I read something about how bad diodes let current flow from the battery when it shouldn't or something along that line. So that brought to mind that maybe some how this is happening to my car. I decided to pull fuses and let the car set a few nights starting with the relay for the brake system since I was experiencing the dash light for the brakes. The car set for three days and started right up with no brake dash lights on after installing this new relay. I drove the car for about 15 miles just to make sure it didn't reappear, and all is good. So I hope this may help someone else. Thanks

Truck didn't start. Thought it was the starter. Nope. It was the starter relay under the hood. Also, the windows and some lights didn't work. It was the relay under the dash. Replaced four relays and truck starts like new. Also, this solved my battery draining problem. Check your relays if you have draining battery, difficulty starting, intermittent windows, or partial lights. Have a good day.

Good quality

Good

Fit perfect

installed it and the turn signals come on but still would not flash. when i tried to uninstall it the entire housing came off and but half of the unit was still in. I tried to pry it loose but in doing so it sparked and scared the heck out on me, i guess i should have disconected the battery first. bought the same unit at a local auto parts store and it fixed my problem.

Works great cheaper than major part stores.
