Sounds good guys.

So the manual lists the part as a Standard Ignition TC52 relay. From Standard's website I can see this diagram for it:

http://eaccess.smpcorp.com/eCatalogs...D/GF7321-1.pdf

It's similar to the setup on my car (and the diagram here: Signal and brake light troubleshooting), but not the same. It's got 5 leads on the input side and 4 on the output side as opposed to the 3 input and 2 output in the car/ERA manual.

Granted two of the three extra wires are just grounds. Is this just a design change since the manual was written? Want to avoid ordering the wrong part. The existing relay in the car is only labeled "PL 500B".

No, you want a three in to two relay, like this: [ame]https://www.amazon.com/CURT-58240-Tail-Light-Converter/dp/B001EP0GI6[/ame]

But search around a little bit to find the "high performance" version that tend to cost about ten dollars more. They provide more amperage through to the back lights.

See, this one has a little more capacity: Ultra-Fab Products 3-2 Converter But I think you can still do better.

Awesome, thanks Patrick and Bob.

I'll look around and see what I can find.
