Steve P Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill R Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) 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/ Edited December 30, 2022 by Bill R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genemenne Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 As you have discovered from your research, your part is obsolete and no longer available.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.

RNMCBR Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 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. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysmn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Amazon has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 @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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysmn Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
