Is a "relay is a relay is a relay"?
Just wondering if a Jaguar relay is the same if I were to simply go to the auto parts store and get a typical relay?
Jaguar's relays built tougher? Wired the same configuration as other relays?
OR...do I have to use Jaguar relays instead?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

I have used the ÜRO PARTS Part # LJA6703AA relay as a replacement for the Jaguar Relay. They are $5.11 ea from Rock Auto. They are much cheaper than the Jag unit and seem to work fine.

Not all relays are made the same. The "Bosch" relay has a standard configuration, but with many variances. My old Rolls Royce has so many relays, that I have not even seen them all. In the Rolls it is important to have a relay with a quenching diode if the relay is associated with an electronic circuit. Don't know about Jag, but I would be cautious to be sure that a replacement relay has the specifications as required.

That is probably a direct replacement fit. Good deal! That suppression circuit uses a resistor that is good, but I prefer a diode because it is more secure in my opinion. That is also a SPST relay and I know on my Rolls, that it calls for a DPDT relay in some instances. I just use the DPDT relay in all circuits just to be sure.
