I need a brake signal relay

[Steve P]

The signal relay to my trailer brake light has gone bad.  It is a G8VL-1A4T-R-L relay.   I have checked numerous websites and auto parts stores. Does anyone know where I can get a handful of these?

Looks like mouser.com has them.  https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Omron-Electronics/G8VL-1A4T-R-L-DC12?qs=GLD16PGLtAFaylWIH8RDsA%3D%3D

Looks like they are out of stock after second look.    Sorry.  But another site offering the replacement part  https://layingaround.com/g8vl1a4trldc12-g8vl-1a4t-rl-relay-automotive-spst-20a-12v-replacment-offered/

As you have discovered from your research, your part is obsolete and no longer available.  Generally, but not always, there is a substitute part that will work.  I did a brief search, but was not able to find a substitute online. I would suggest trying to contact Omron (the manufacturer) or DigiKey or Mouser (2 large electronic distributors) to see if they can identify a suitable replacement.  Good luck.

Steve,

My 07 Diplomat should be very similar to your Knight. It uses small relays that are the same as the small SPST relays used in later model GM autos. Here are some pictures of the relays in my rear run panel. I suspect these would work for you and they should be available at any auto parts store.

Amazon has them.

@RNMCBR

Thanks.  I'll compare the two data sheets and see if they are the same.

@Simplysmn

I found the 8430's.... did you see the G8VL's?

[Simplysmn]

I matched up what I was looking for on there and got extra.  I don't remember the number I am Sorry

 

Amazon has them.
