Even if you ship it internationally it's STILL cheaper than the ebay part

It's not clear to me from these posts which relay you need.

The various years of 924's have a variety of fuel pump relays that work in different ways, with consequently varying prices.

KAE 3.300.300 relay quality is questionable. Few days ago I was driving to ice hockey rehearsal and noticed/heard that some relay started to buzz every time I tried to accelerate and eventually cut out the fuel delivery(?) if the acceleration continued.

Turned out it was the almost new KAE fuel pump relay. Luckily I had a spare one in the glove box.

hi tom.

luckily im fine as far as needing one.

i remember a discussion before with you on this subject and you pointed me to a drawing of the relay circuit somewhere on this board, i tried and couldnt find it. but it seems the relay causes a lot of people bother. i think i remember someone saying they are hard to get hold of. what i was wondering is do they fail regulaly? if i could get hold of 5 or 10 faulty relays i might be able to see if it is a common fault, or if there was some weak link in the circuit, there might be a mod that could stop this from happening. if it is a common fault and not the relay machanism then it may be a $2 repair/mod after a bit of work. i would rather keep a few chips spare at a $1 than a relay.

nothing is worse than a car letting you down at the flick of a switch if it can be prevented. i like to be able to know im driving home every time i drive out. a breakdown wagon doesnt seem much fun.

i suppose a carrying a spare relay is a very good idea, but i think if you have a bit of skill, you might be able to make the components that fail pluggable so carrying a few chips that can plug in to the inside of the relay is a better idea at $2, or if we are lucky we might be able to add some protection to the circuit to stop it failing.

i will do another post, asking who has had a fail and how long it is for they had another failure.

really what i could do with is 10 or so faulty relays.
