I understand not all relays are made equal and you often get what you pay for. Thus, I wanted to know what are some good SPDT relay brands that you all use or recommend?
I currently purchase my relays of eBay but often they have no branding and I worry about long tern reliability.
Thanks

Agree with above, Tycho took over the relays from Bosch but they are now Chinese made. P&B probably the best.
Also consider Omron and Panasonic, superb quality but all the above are rated at least 15 million cycles.
N.B. Tycho took over from Bosch, now made in China.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.
