Or you can contact Texas Industrial Supply at texasindustrialelectric.com/relays and look over their inventory. Look at 0332-002-168, if it were to fail then you have other problems in your system.

Another option is pulling OEM relays from vehicles in a wrecking yard, er, auto recycling. This would be especially so if they have some German imports you can cannibalize for the necessary items.

I pulled 3 or 4 from a local U-pick and they didn't even charge me for them. With hundreds of cars in the yard and multiple relays per vehicle they don't even bother - especially when most people just pilfer them and don't ask. I guess they focus on things too big to pocket.
