Relay question

[tim0409]

I’m struggling to trace a fault (will crank but not fire) on my BMW Xcountry and I am slowly working my way through the wiring. I would like to replace the plug on this relay (see below) but I’m struggling to find one - any ideas? I don’t think it relates to the issue I’m having but would like to fix it in any case. I could use spade connectors straight on to the pins but would like to keep in standard if I can.
Thanks

Many thanks, that’s a good suggestion. The local BMW specialist can’t look at it for 6 weeks so I’m going to be on a steep learning curve learning bike electrical systems!

Thanks Bodo. I’ve just received the wiring diagram from an owner on another forum, and the relay basically turns the headlight off when you are starting the bike. It’s just a standard relay so presumably I could buy another relay with harness and connect that instead of depinning this one?

ETA I’ve just ordered a crimp tool and connectors so will reuse the existing connector and relay. Thanks again for all the helpful posts.

I managed to repin the existing relay. I spent quite a few more hours tracing the non starting fault, and it was a faulty starter relay that was hanging down behind the engine, having had the wiring badly repaired before. I replaced the relay with a spare and it immediately fired into life, which is a result as my bike has been off the road for a few weeks. Took it for a test run and it’s perfect.

Rewired headlight relay -
