Hey good day today. Found my cutout relay.

It was buried in one of our boxes of junk. 

Anyone ever test one?

That looks like a generator cutout Relay which has a different function than the current limit relay mounted under the dash.  The cutout relay is mounted on the generator and has a cover .  The current limit relay has no cover.  Of course, the fuse holder is not of 32 Buick vintage as they had no fuse in their wiring system. 

 

Set up for both relays is detailed in the 32 Buick specs and adjustment manual.

Hey Bob, 

I did look back in some images and saw that this unit was mounted up on the left of the radiator. Not sure why.

Additionally my reproduction and original wire harness has a wire that sticks out of the harness near the distributor. This wire looks like it has one half of an in line fuse holder. In the manual it seems to go to the horns. Is that just a connector but no fuse?

I would say that the cut out relay was not originally in that position.  Maybe, but seems out of place for the cars that I have seen.

I agree Larry.

Maybe it was used to run some accessory. 

Since it is not of the 32 Buick I will offer it up to someone who may need it. I will put it in the parts for sale ,maybe someone can identify it.
