Hey I just changed mine today.
Autozone was AC40. Its really like a heater blower relay

Not to hijack a thread...but...
I was getting no noise from my starter yesterday. I changed my starter relay and tried to jump the truck. Now i just get repetative clicks at probably 1/8 second intervals. Does anyone know what I should check next? The starter turned one turn out of about 4 tries.

I just bought one from GM for $40. It's PN15591718. But to my dismay i saw them listed on FLMV's site for $28.

I read this post last night. Today I went out for a little offroad trip. For the first time ever, I left my cell phone at home. About ten miles out, I pulled off the trail to take a break. When I got bact into my truck, it would not start. So after several hours of doing wiring 101 for my life, I discovered that you can pull the relay and jump the red to purple, and wala the CUCV runs. SO now I am looking for the correct part. According to the pictures at Kragen and NAPA the AC40 has 5 pins. The AC delco factoy part # has four, like my truck. The AC40 is about half the price. Can I get away with the AC40???

I sure hope so

I am sure the cheaper one has an extra terminal for an normally closed positon and it opens then the relay is tripped. Using it should not hurt anything. The side we use in the cucv ignition is the normally open and it closes when it is tripped. By open I mean that the conductive path is not connected and closed means the contact points are closed together giving a conductive path.

OK so what does it do? the m1009 i was just given had that part in the pic sitting on the floor. would not start up. put it in when i found it. fired right up. thanks

The starting system needs 24 volts to trigger the starter. The relay takes the 12 volt pos from the stock ignition switch and uses it to trigger the relay in question. This then supplies 24 volts to the starter. Does this make sense?

 

[ida34]

I almost forgot. Sometimes the relay sticks and keeps the starter going. This has fried a few starters. If the starter keeps going pull the plug from this relay.
