The accessories output wire on my alarm only outputs 11.2 volts; it doesn’t seem to work with your standard BOSCH 12volt relay. Where can I find an 11-volt automotive relay? I’m only using the relay to convert polarity, so a high current relay is not necessary. Thanks

Recheck your wiring for the relay and the alarm. Eleven volts is enough for a Bosch relay to activate providing the output doesn't drop when a load is applied to it. Use a digital volt meter and set it to a 12 volt DC scale. Place your meter probes across terminals # 86 & #85. Activate the alarm's output and watch the voltage on the meter. If it drops below 10 volts you either have a defective output on your alarm or the relay's ground is no good. Also confirm the polarity of the alarm's output to see if it is a positve or negative out. The other terminal on the relay must be the opposite.
