Hello,
I have been issues with the P0481 cooing Dan circuit low/high. Pulled out the relay (between rad and grill) and she most pretty green/rusted. Dumb spot to put it! Anyways can any relay take its place or does it have to be condenser fan relay for our trucks? Sounds dumb I know, but I tried looking on the Mopar website and no luck. Anyone have a link to this part or a relay that will work?

Thanks!

Not every relay is designed the same from pin out orientation to internal function. Some relays will have the circuit diagram printed on the casing but even with that, signal voltage and load voltage all have to match.

IMO, replace it with whats in your autoparts store system. They already have it all figured out and sometimes have more than one brands at different prices.

Avoid the headache

Yeah it’s the relay between the rad and the grill, right behind the horns, mounted with the horns. On my 2011 anyways. I’ll have to call to the Mopar parts, however if it not listed on the website (Canada) they don’t have it. That’s what I was told by them at allmoparparts.ca out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

I’m not sure and I still can’t find the relay I’m looking for. Engine cooling fan relay/ ac condenser relay or whatever. Checked moparparts, nothing listed. My relay is all covered in rust lol. Needs to be changed.
