Default Door lock relays again!

Just ordered the new -4 relays from Digikey in Minn! $1.72 each.

Wondering if anyone had updated photos and info on the repair or if someone on the forum repairs the modules?

Thanks,

RWP

I have a good link at home. If I remember it also identifies which one is for lock versus unlock. If you are replacing both then that info not important, just knowing which 2 are for the locks and which one is for the heated mirror. The window relay is completely different from the other 3.

The above link is what I was referring to. In post 9 the door locks are the 2 bottom relays. The one on top of these is for the mirror and the one on the right is for the windows, it is a different style relay with 2 contacts inside. No idea why they did not do that for the locks too. Mr. Sam
