Put a low-current control signal back in charge of a higher-current circuit with the Standard Ignition Relay RY-242. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1977-1993 Cadillac DeVille, 1986-1996 Chevrolet Corvette, 1988-1995 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-1996 Chevrolet K1500 and 2005-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 (engine: All). It covers 921 applications in total; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A relay is an electrically operated switch. When its control circuit energizes it, the relay opens or closes a separate, higher-current circuit. Standard catalogs RY-242 under several relay functions, so one part number serves multiple listings.
- Cataloged functions: ABS relay, accessory delay relay, accessory power relay and accessory safety relay.
- Position (catalog): Rear.
- Quantity per application: 1. The listed applications each use a single relay, and this listing is for one.
- Coverage: 921 listed applications from makes including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC and Oldsmobile.
Signs this relay may need replacing include a circuit that won't switch on, a circuit that works only intermittently, or one that stays energized. Wiring, fuses and the controlled component can cause the same signs, so diagnose the circuit first. If the relay is the cause, RY-242 replaces it.
