• Brass or copper contacts used where specified for wear resistance

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition RY-617 is engineered as a replacement relay for transmission-related axle control on a range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth platforms. It is built with a composite housing to handle heat and harsh underhood exposure, while specified brass or copper contacts support long-term electrical wear resistance. Manufacturing is controlled to strict quality standards in TS16949 and ISO9001 certified facilities, helping ensure consistent fit and function across the listed applications. This part cross-references Dorman - First Stop 19382 for the same application.

Compatible With 1989-1995 Chrysler LeBaron, 1990-1995 Chrysler Town & Country, 1989-1995 Dodge Caravan, 1989-1995 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 1989-1995 Plymouth Voyager applications. Standard Ignition RY-617 also serves select Chrysler Daytona and Dynasty models with skirt and bracket configurations, plus other listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles using the specified relay layout.

What It Helps Solve

• Heat-related relay housing damage in the engine bay
• Connector mismatch on vehicles requiring an 8-blade relay
• Bracketed relay mounting issues on listed applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify connector shape, terminal count, and amperage rating before installation.
• Match the OE number and application notes, especially on vehicles listed with bracket or skirt requirements.
