Product Details and Specifications

The Standard Ignition RY-131 window defroster relay features a female rectangular connector designed for secure and precise electrical connections. It includes six male blade terminals, facilitating reliable current flow within the defroster circuit.

The relay does not come with mounting brackets, so ensure compatibility with your vehicle's existing mounting setup.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Standard Ignition RY-131 relay, verify the connector orientation and terminal alignment to ensure proper fitment.
