Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number, pin count, connector style, and relay function before installation. This relay is a 5-pin changeover contact unit, so it must match the vehicle’s original relay layout and circuit requirements. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s relay diagram when servicing a Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Charger, or Chevrolet Malibu.

For best results, inspect the relay socket for heat damage, corrosion, or loose terminals before installing the replacement. Always compare the original relay markings to Hella 933332581 and OE number 13171831 to ensure the correct electrical match.
