Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. Standard Ignition RY-44 uses male blade terminals and includes a bracket, so the existing relay mounting point should be checked against the vehicle’s original configuration. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with pulse wipers or intermittent wipers where noted in the fitment list, especially on Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, and Pontiac models.
