Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition RY-482 starter cut-off relay is a critical electrical component designed to manage the fuel pump relay circuit in select Dodge Shadow and Plymouth Sundance vehicles. Operating at 12 volts with a 30 amp amperage rating, this relay features a single female square connector and four male blade terminals, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections. It is not rated for continuous duty, which aligns with its function as a starter cut-off relay rather than a constant power relay. The relay does not include a mounting bracket, so installation requires securing it appropriately within the vehicle’s relay panel or designated mounting area.
