relay extender or jumper harness?

I'm looking for either one of these two items: A 5 pin relay extender harness. This would have a 5 pin male plug on one end, with the same configuration as a normal 5 pin relay base, then on the opposite end, it would have the female relay socket. Or A fly lead with just the 5 pin male plug as above, and 5 unterminated conductors on the other end. I've found an extender harness - Honda makes one of these as a special diagnostic tool, and it carries a special tool price with it :(. I'm looking for something a little more cost effective, ie similar to a Metra harness, etc. TIA!

Why not make one? You can buy ready made sockets loomed or make your own (you will need a non-insulated crimp tool).

i think the male socket/plug end is hard to find. male terminals are probably easier to find compared to the housing to hold them. some 1/4" wide brass strip, thickness of relay terminals, inserted into relay socket should work. remove the terminals from the socket first, insert brass strips, solder in place, then replace...male relay socket. any thoughts?

Ween is right, 6.4mm (1/4") faston males.

To be honest 100mm or 4" of cable with the male Lucars (fastons) works just as well to test relay bases.

I made something like that on my mom's Rav4. I added fog lights and used the factory wiring. The back of the fusebox was home to the foglight relay. Well it wasn't there since the car didn't originally come with foglights. The Foglight relay cost $30+ from the dealer. So I took one of my $1 Botch relays and added wires onto it. I added on the end of the wires 1/4in or .250in male quick disconnect connectors. Then I slide it into the factory relay socket one wire at a time on the back of the fusebox and wire tied the botch relay back there. That was 8 years ago, Foglights work perfect.

What do you call those .250 males in the US? I could only find the insulated version in the Metra catalogue.

If no one knows of a readily available 5 pin male plug, then I think making the plug by using a standard female socket and soldering some male/male spades or tabs in there would work fine for me. McMaster's has 1/4" brass bar stock in 0.032" thickness, same as the male tabs or spades, so this ought to work: http://www.mcmaster.com/#8859K82

Surely easier and cheaper just to buy the crimp receptacles?

Howie, not following you. I'd expect to buy a standard relay socket, which already has the female receptacles installed along with lengths of fly lead precrimped, then solder in double lengths of the brass stock in order to turn the female receptacles into male plugs.
