Function And Application
The relay controls and switches electrical circuits within the vehicle’s system, acting as an electrically operated switch to route power where required. Correct operation of this relay helps ensure reliable performance of the affected circuit. Compatibility includes models such as Citroën C5 X7 and other PSA-platform vehicles where the listed part numbers apply; always verify fitment against your vehicle’s part number list.
Installation And Replacement
General replacement guidance: disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work. Locate the relay in the engine-bay or under-dash relay/fuse box according to the vehicle manual. Remove the electrical connector and any retaining clip, swap the old relay for the new unit and connect the supplied wiring section if required. Reconnect the battery and verify the function of the circuit controlled by the relay. If you are unsure of the exact location or wiring, consult the vehicle service manual or a qualified technician.
Common Faults And Longevity
Relays can fail due to contact wear, corrosion, overheating, moisture ingress or wiring faults. Symptoms of a failing relay include intermittent operation of the controlled system, complete loss of function, or unusual electrical behaviour. There is no fixed replacement interval; service life depends on usage, environment and system electrical health. Diagnosing the fault before replacement helps prevent repeat failures caused by wiring or control module issues.
Why Choose This Part

The presence of the wiring stub reduces installation time and helps ensure a secure connection.
