Howdy,
Both the MEP-802A and MEP-803A use the same relays.

The relay are all the same, EXCEPT, the one on the far left. It is SPECIAL.:wink:

They, the new ones, are nicer because you can see the red flag move when the relay opens or closes. Don't know if the relay itself is better, but I never had many relays go bad anyway. A few, but on the whole, they were not a problem. The few I found, I always used for training aides.

Howdy,

Yes, the farthest left piece is actually a switch. That is the pricey one $$

Does anyone have a part # for the "new" relays put in with a reset? (The ones with the flags) I would like to keep 1 on hand as a backup but cant see a # for the ones Hard Head posted.
I found an Omron Relay (Omron MJN2CF-DC24) that should work but I want to search the "new" relays before I purchase anything.
(P.S. I looked up the Potter & Brumfield ones, I can get one easily but they are made in China now while my originals were made in Mexico. I would prefer not China if at all possible)

It's possible. S14 is used for disabling the starter and flashing of the gen head.
Best to refer to the -24 TM and use the troubleshooting steps for engine not cranking. Could be a few culprits in the circuit causing a no crank situation.
