Need some low current threshold, solid state relays to finish up a project on the car…problem is, need them ASAP, dude is picking up my car Saturday morning. where can i find these little suckers locally? need 2. didn’t see anything on radioshack’s website… [http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hla-h41773001](http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hla-h41773001) If anyone has any of these laying around, I’d be more than happy to pay you what you think they’re worth and come get them tomorrow. ---

well the half empty case of Yuengling suggests I’ve gotten a lot done over the past couple days, but i need these little bastard relays to finish the job. They’re a universal type deal so I don’t think any german shop might have them… a guy on bimmerforums suggested the use of a reed switch to make sure I had enough current to trigger a traditional relay - gonna look into those ---

that might be a typo. possibly it is 6/8/2015? Their shipping is typically impossibly quick so perhaps they figure out time travel and they can ship items 6 months before you order them? ---

Rexel? do you need them to have that plug type or could you add a pigtail? [http://raise.rockwellautomation.com/RAConfig/resultsComponents.asp?CID=26C978C32DF24024A6045F7DDCC0762B](http://raise.rockwellautomation.com/RAConfig/resultsComponents.asp?CID=26C978C32DF24024A6045F7DDCC0762B) ---

I would prefer the type with the spades at the bottom since I already have it wired to use those…but, I can reconfigure the ends to work with whatever. ---

Norb, I have a 700-HF32Z12 Electromechanical relay in stock. The spec sheet says that the coil consumes 0.9W which is .075A at 12V. While not ideal this may get you out of trouble.

it turns out the issue was being caused by something inside the OEM HVAC unit. I do appreciate everyone’s help. This community is really amazing. Thanks to all! ---
