Hi Lee

The relays on mine don't have any manufacturers name or logo on them so I can't help you.

I suspect they are just a generic relay made in China.

Several days on in this issue with the fan relay. First of all I have taken myself into this situation because I tried to out trick the stock set up. When I replaced the stock radiator with a C/R alloy unit it came with considerably better fans, that produced much more airflow. these fans also used more amps and that was the beginning of my troubles. Eventualy the relay gave up. Never lost a fuse in the process. I have tried to locate a relay with a fuse that would fit and that has proven to be very difficult. Hella makes a 30 amp relay that will work put the fuse sets to the side and it will not fit physicaly in the space available. I could get another one fom the factory but then its the same problem over amping a 30 amp relay with both fans running. I think my answer is to use two 30 amp relays with fuse attached and run one on each fan. Advantage is if one relay or fuse quits you till have one fan to limp home on. My efforts in this deal have suggested to me that a spare relay in the car maybe seured in the little fuse relay area is probably a very good practice you are not going to find this relay in a Pep Boys on a sunday afternoon. lEE

hi rowdy,

the amps of the relay will not be the cause of your trouble it is the spark that is destroying
the contacts when you turn the fans off.
You can try get Varistors (or snubber network) for 12 V and wire this in parallel to the fan connectors this will suppress
the spark and end your trouble. Another possible solution is a capacitor and resistor in series and that parallel to the connectors
that can take the spark energy.
