Does anyone have the part number for a 1989 5.0 ac wot cutoff relay and for the connector harness? My harness had and connector basically disintegrated on me so I want to splice in a new one and put a new relay on as well since that looked a little rough at the connection. I can’t seem to find the correct relay online and the ones I do find don’t seem to match up with the pin connections. I attached a photo of the relay pins.
Thanks,
Brian

This harness can work. You need to cut off the small alignment rib.

It’s a standard 5-wire relay socket, and one of the wires is not used.

I used this to repair my WOT relay harness not too long ago

Thanks a ton, I was looking at that connector but wasn’t sure if it would work. That helps a lot.
What relay did you end up using or did you only replace the connector pigtail?

The fuel pump relay and AC cut off relay are listed as the same part number on rockauto, can get the connector too. I have used the relays interchangeably. It is nice to know that if your fuel pump relay craps out you can use your AC cut off relay to get home.

I looked on rockauto and they had 3 relays available. A standard motor products relay #ry46, a wve 1r1294 & a relay #ry46t listed. It looks like the ry46t has 5 terminal post connections. I couldn’t tell on the ry46 or wve from the photos. My current factory relay only has 4 terminal connections. Which one did you go with?

The WOT only has 4 terminals, but it's a standard 5-pin relay just missing the 5th pin, so that extra pin won't be used.

This one looks like it might also work. I don't know if it will but At least with Amazon, if it doesn't work you can return it.
