I posted this over at foureyedpride too but, i know someone here probably has encountered this problem............got my painless harness in the mail and started putting it in. there is a place for two relays on this harness which are not included. they are for the EEC and fuel pump. In the instructions it gives a list of parts that you must provide yourself (like the A9L computer, and different sensors and such) and for these relays it gives HELLA part number 87452 for both.
So I called several parts stores and they all didnt have a listing for it. I started getting concerned. So I called painless. The guy scrambled around a while and I held on for about 15 minutes, finally came back and said I'll have to call you back. Well, in the meantime I call HELLA. The guy there said that part has been discontinued. It was a "dual 8710 40 amp with DIODE" and they dont make one like that with a diode anymore, but instead with a resistor. So he told me to ask Painless if a diode is required or if a resistor is ok.
Painless called me back and the guy was kind of airheaded sounding and was real huffy and impatient my judgement tells me that he'd say anything to get me off the phone. He told me get this relay: painless 80130. I dont trust this information.
Nevertheless, this relay retails for 17 bucks at autozone . 17 bucks X2 is 34.00 for relays that SHOULD HAVE, in my opinion, been included in this kit. I called painless back and got another guy for a second opinion, he said he has two relays he'd send me for free but he would never confirm to me that they are diode style.
Anyone know what relay i really need? is diode really that important?
