364nailhead Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 One out of the six prongs is completely broke off. The only relays I can find, are six prongs for the early to mid '60's Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NailheadBob Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The group # 13.095 part # 4711553 is used for 1956 and 1957 Buicks, also might be used on other GM cars, I will do a little more searching. Bob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Try to solder the terminal pin back onto the relay, by cleaning both the relay and terminal pin with wire brush, and use a liberal amount of soldering paste first, then apply solder to make them both connect, OR if terminal pin is missing solder a wire (close to the same size wire that attached to the relay connector) and route to outside of harness plug, so when harness attached to relay, use a 3m scotch lock fold on connector to attach wire just soldered on to harness connector. Also, maybe only difference in relays for 6 way power seats is the outer metal shell on how it attaches to vehicle? I e-mailed car-part.com to see if they had a used relay, i am waiting for reply.

Jolly_John Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) If you go the soldering route that Bob described above, be sure to use rosin core solder, which is designed for electrical work. Don't use acid core solder you might happen to have laying around from a plumbing job! Good luck with your project.

mobileparts Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 364nailhead, One of my calls for N.O.S. Delco / A C / G M items has one (1) of them *** N.O.S. *** He is not shy with his prices, however, and there is a High likelihood that it will be $ 250 - $ 300 or more......

Smartin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Oddly enough, I have to find one of these myself. I just looked for power seat relays that had the same "footprint" as the original. Found these new: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233357431857 It has a different mounting tab, but you can still mount it in the same spot. It's the SAME relay! Don't be fooled by "4 way", etc....all the relay does is power the motor back and forth. It has nothing to do with how many directions the seat goes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NailheadBob Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Smartin, is the only difference the metal casing that attaches to the relay itself? That is a huge difference in price! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'm fairly certain. It will be here next week, so I will know for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy this relay until I contacted the seller to see if it would work on the '57. He told me the relay would not work. Made for 61-66. So, I cancelled the order. I'm not doubting your word Smartin. Same footprint, just a different metal casing and tab connection. I chatted with Lance about it too, he thought it should work with the prong configuration...

I bought this relay along with the wire loom intact. BUT! I did do what NailheadBob suggested to do solder a piece of wire where the prong was.. It works! At least for now. The motor operates fine forward and backwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
