5 Pin Relay Basics and Tips how an Automotive Relay works/ Explained SPDT (12 Volt) | AnthonyJ350

Want to learn what the PIN Configuration on a relay is? We go over the basics to how a 5 pin or 4 pin relay operates. Relays are devices used to control a high amperage device with a low amperage device as the control like a switch or security system module.

*Remember to use a relay in conjunction with a fuse at all times*.

5 Pin Relay Basics and Tips how an Automotive Relay works/ Explained SPDT (12 Volt) | AnthonyJ350

I always wondered how to utilize relays. Everytime I research it, I would get distracted. Watching videos like these would inform and get me involved with it. 👍👍👍

[robertlamberson]

how about a simple diagnostic test to see if the relay is functioning

Thanks for the insight I've been trying to find more information on what and how the 5 pin was for/used... was told that you could make a bi directional with one but seems like you would require more than one.

I am about to hook up a lightbar with a harness that includes a relay and fuse. Am I fine to power it direct from the battery or do I need to draw power from a fuse only has power when the ignition is on? I was concerned that there would be a power drain if my vehicle was parked for a couple weeks. Thanks for the video

I have a 5 pin relay under my dash that the previous owner installed and i dont know how it works. Theres a toggle switch running right from the battery that goes into the relay, and the rest of the wires go back to my ignition switch wires (spliced into the factory harness). When the switch is off the starter doesnt engage but with the switch turned on the car starts normal and will keep running even if you remove the key unless the switch is turned off. Is this the system you were talking about in this video?

So if I have extra lights on a rack in my pickup facing backwards and I want them to come on when I put the truck in reverse, but also want a switch inside the cabin that turns on the light when I want to use them as work lights. How would I wire that up?

I have unusual question I have some back fead problems with me relays hella 2pin buzzer lights on, bosch 4pin rear windscreen heater, 6pin hella windscreen wiper and 3pin blinker relay siemens .
I do not have ballast on me xenon bulbs I use common ground conection on me rear bulb holder bulbs are dual filament, me alternatir only use charge light no diode present and the alternator field is bound to 4pin relay on pin 86 .
Me car self acelerated on me so I try to figure out why and how.
I only have positive linear voltage regulator and the 4pin gm ignition module as for electronics .
So I have probably lot problems many wires share common + and - connections.
So can you please advice how to make seperate circuets and where can I put diodes on those mentioned relays .
Seperate event that acured insted engine self acelerating the blinker relay one on me started to behave like buzz coil the engine refused to shut of with ignition key off If I use all 4 blinkers I found the cause it was corroded wire on groung rear bulb holder and me common thin black wire started to smoke and bulb at rear were all randomli on all of them those are dual filament bulbs.
So me question is why and how it is posibel for those multipel relay types to interact with ich other?
Mostly I suspect the blinker and rear heater relay and the buzzer failed at be as well .
All relays have ic chips resistors and alredy diodes in them.
So how is that posibel?
I did notice current draw on me 4pin relay I took him off because he drained me baterry over night.
I hoppe for some help against reverse polarity and fack fead problems if posibel how to control those relays properly because some of those unusual effects are usefull .

Hey Anthony so I have a question that I've been trying to figure out, now let's say on my car I put in DRLs and I want to use a relay thats takes it off when I put on my headlight now mind you it's one relay I have in mind to use but essentially when I hit the switch to put on the DRLs it powers on, but when I use that same switch to turn on my headlight that same relay cuts the power to the DRLs and powers on my headlight..is that possible with 1 relay??

having trouble with my LED 5 pin door lock switch and 5 pin relay confused
