You're very welcome Peter,
The thing I liked about it was the detail description of them
many different kinds of relays. I used to think, "a relay is a
relay" but not any more. There are internal differences so if I
select the wrong one I can do damage. The ones with diodes , dual
output, etc - all make make choosing the right one a critical
decision.
The diagrams of the internal wiring are very helpful IMO.
Recently, I added relays to my 911 headlights last year and when I
bought them, I selected the middle choices - not too expensive, not
too cheap. IOW, I used the "
Goldilocks" method and I got
lucky when I picked the right ones ;-). I wish I had seen these
diagrams when I was preparing to make my selections! I need to
reconsider my "
Goldilocks" approach.
I also found out what kind of problems a bad or intermittent
relay can cause! My headlight relay had corrosion on the points and
it would stop my turn signals from time to time along with the
headlights & brake lights. I'd stop, open the hood and move the
wires & fuses around looking for a problem until the lights
started working again. I looked at wires, fuses and the fuse box
trying to find the problem. Hopefully, (fingers crossed) the
problem is fixed. So far, after 2 days it is working.
Back to the website, I am considering adding a relay and buzzer
as described to tell me if I leave the headlights on when I turn the
engine off; the older I get the more often I forget things are, so
this would be a great addition.
I think I'll do what you did and replace all of my relays - I
only have 3 or 4. I should have done this before now. ;-)
Take care --

Very cool. Thanks for passing that along.
I replaced all of my relays shortly after I bought my 308 and
haven't touched them since (almost 15 years now)... The original
Bosch ones were working, but replaced them anyways. The single
Stribel unit however was toast (and was of the "87b" type,
controling the external lights).
