Where can I get one of these relays?
Do they make one with a plug in harness? (no soldering)
Let me know
Have a good one

Radio Shack no longer carries 4PDT relays.
some good on-line suppliers are
Newark www.newark.com
Electronic Supply, Inc www.eskc.com
Digi-Key www.digikey.com
Grainger www.Graiger.com
Heck, there's even a few on Ebay.
Conceivably, you could just wire in a 4PDT switch and it would work the same. But, I am about 6000 miles away from my vette, I haven't had an oppurtunity to look at the wires to see how it's run, which might make a relay easier.
if you have trouble locating a 4PDT relay, a 3PDT relay will work as well, you just connect the shields together seperatly, or just wire in two DPDT relays (half the in/outs go to one, the other half to the other relay), and all you'd have to do is splice the +12V to both relays. But it's all essentially the same. You just have to make sure the Coil Rating is 12VDC
BTW, if you don't want to solder, just pick up a relay socket and it'll have screws for the wires, and the relay will just plug into it. A socket will make for easier mounting and if you ever have to replace the relay, they just plug in.

BTW, here's a good, reliable, and inexpensive 4PDT relay

hope this helps some.
