I should have purchased it sooner

Dificult to attach all the wires on the outgoing side because terminal needs to be a little longer.

DOES NOT FIT

if your ford truck f-150, etc, has that split connector on bottom this will not fit ,,, they give you spacers, but they do not allow connector either

            Stuck in the cranking position. Installed & Turned truck on one time OK. Second time wouldn't stop cranking. Probably ruining my starter. Had to Disconnect Battery to Stop. Double Checked Proper connection & it still did the same thing. I wouldn't buy this...

                    Bought to replace one that periodically stuck closed (constant cranking).
                    First try, new one stuck and never returned.
                    Now the truck wont start at all, even with the old one.
                    Select? ...to do what?

                                I want to use this relay to kill the battery when vehicle is parked due to parasitic drain. Is the relay rated for continous use since it will be engaged the entire time vehicle is running and are the contacts large enough to carrythe current continously

                                  I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.
