The Four Seasons 36169 part number is also a useful search term when replacing an OE-style HVAC relay in these applications.

Common Replacement Symptoms

  • A/C compressor does not engage when commanded
  • Intermittent compressor operation
  • Cooling fan relay circuit faults tied to relay switching
  • Noisy, sticking, or failed HVAC relay operation
  • Electrical control issues in the compressor cut-out circuit

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal count, terminal gender, and amperage rating before installation. This relay uses a rectangular female connector with blade terminals, so matching the original relay layout is important for proper fitment.
