Depends if you can get inside it. If it is a standard type of relay
new ones ain't expensive.

Thank you. It's a sealed unit, so I went ahead and ordered one from eBay
for £8.

Can you post a pic of the base of the old relay?

The old BS way of marking relay contacts - rather than numbers - gave you
the opportunity to work out if there was a likely substitute.

Even ones which look to be sealed can sometimes be opened quite easily.
The plastic body clipping to the bottom part with the terminals.


Mafco (I think it was anyway) used to do a catalogue showing relay
replacements by the terminal layouts and pin numbers - I guess with all
the factors moving to fully computerized systems these sort of
catalogues don't exist any more
