Relay Switches 4720i

[Toby873]

Hello, I have a 4720i that I thought had bad battery; nope. Bad ignition switch; nope. Bad starter; nope. Bad wires; nope. Bad relays; yup. Problem is all the manuals say I have four of the same relays, I have three that are red and one that is blue, did I just miss one? either way I need to replace two of the red ones; Who is the best source for relay switches for a 2004 4720i in SW Florida? Thanks for help in advance.

Relay's, if the little plug in cube type, are most likely a standard to the automotive industry.
I's take along the 2 suspects and have them matched at any auto parts store.

Need some more insight on this. PILOON; thanks for suggestions but unable to match at auto parts store; or anywhere on internet. Branson parts are apparently like chicken teeth.....impossible to find. I would appreciate any help from a dealer/mechanic that can definitively tell me that these four relays are the same because the blue one ends with a 'A3' while the three red ones end with 'A4'.

the red relays are normally open and the blue is normally closed contacts

Try Mouser Electronics. They have a huge supply of everything electronic.

It turns out that I need the blue relay for my 3820i. I'll bet it's the same switch as yours. Did you find where to buy one? My local dealer has had one on order for weeks. Nothing.

As long as you can determine which two contacts energize the electromagnet, and which two contacts are the switch.... you can wire in a universal relay to get things going again.

That's a good idea. However, I looked on Ebay and it looks like these are fairly common auto relays. I ordered this and a couple of other relays that look to be the exact connector used by my Branson switch.

I'm in no hurry for this so I'll see if these work when they come in from China.
