Hi,

While rummaging around the pick-n-pull a few days ago, I found a white OD relay and i grabbed it, since the current one my car only works in hot weather. (i've already resoldered it, but obviously didn't do a great job). Since the two relays are different colors, I am not sure whether they are both usable in the '83 245. I don't know if the OEM relay for my car was white or orange, since the orange one in there is a replacement installed by the prior owner.

They are both 5-prong relays and both are for automatic transmission cars. My question, Is it OK to use the white relay in my car? They both have printed on them:

12V
5DA

but the serial numbers are different.


Any information on this is helpful. I don't want to put the white one in and start blowing fuses or anything else.

thanks,

susan.
