Has anyone purchased a headlight motor relay recently?



The price quoted from Sunset is $99.xx. Seems expensive to me considering I had seen posts from less than 2 years ago that the relay was running in the $50 range.

I don't think those are the same relays that I am looking for. The one I need is located at G17 and G18 in the fuse box. I will have to go look but I think it is labeled as control unit light combination. Maybe headlight relay isn't the correct term.



Thanks for looking 968 Cab.

oops. you're right Bart - I'm so used to working on 944 and 951S that I forgot that the 968 HL relay went into the fuse box instead of on the HL motor.



hmm.. if the relay is suspect anyway, I've had a LOT of success cleaning the relay contacts on these cars. With plastic covers on that unit, it is pretty easy to open it up. I use a thin 1/4" wide strip of 1000 grit paper folded over and just run it through the contacts to remove oxidation and arcing deposits. That usually does the trick.
