Restore reliable switching to your headlight and main power circuit with the Standard Ignition Headlight Relay / Main Relay (RY-1496). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Kia Sedona and 2003-2006 Kia Sorento, dropping into the original relay location for the listed applications. This part is cataloged under both names — headlight relay and main relay.

A relay uses a small control signal to open and close a separate, higher-current circuit, so a worn or failed unit can leave that circuit working intermittently or not at all. If a faulty relay is the cause of your electrical trouble, this replaces it.

  • Electrical switching: a low-current control input energizes the relay to make or break the higher-current circuit it serves.
  • Direct-fit replacement: designed to install in place of the original relay on the listed Kia applications.
  • Signs it may need replacing: headlights or the controlled circuit that operate intermittently, come on erratically, or fail to power up — after diagnosis confirms the relay is at fault.

What does this relay do?

It uses a low-current control signal to open and close a separate, higher-current circuit, letting a small switch control the larger load reliably.

What numbers does this part interchange with?

It cross-references R7001, 16274, AR7002, 0K55267740, and 0K55267740B. The manufacturer part number is RY-1496.

What are signs this relay may need replacing?

The controlled circuit working intermittently, coming on erratically, or failing to power up can be signs of a bad relay. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other components can produce the same symptoms.

Is this a direct-fit part?

Yes. It is designed to install in place of the original relay on the listed Kia Sedona and Sorento applications without modification.
