5 pin relay wiring can be done many different ways. The two most common ways to wire a 5 pin relay is with a positive trigger and with a negative trigger. Each method has its own benefits. In this video, I show how to wire a relay each way, and how the relay actually works. Rather than trying to read a relay wiring diagram, this video provides the guidance you need to do it yourself without the confusion from schematics. Many people call this type of relay a “Bosch type relay”, because that is the company most known for making them. If you are wiring a relay into your car, this videos shows you all of the relay connections that you need to make to get the job done right!

I wire relays 2-3 times a year, and I still need a reference to jostle my dusty memory. This is an EXCELLENT resource. Invaluable!
Thanks
You have the easiest to understand videos explaining automotive electronics.
Haha! That is fantastic to hear! I'm so glad people like the videos I make.
Great video. Only thing that may help would be a close up of the wires and how they are hooked up?
But you definitely get the idea, the negative relay switch was something I'd never heard or thought of before.
Said it before and ill say it again.....thank you thank you thank you. You deserve FAR more credit, views, likes, and subscribes my friend. A true teacher. Thank you for all you do. God bless
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos! Just trying to help out my fellow car enthusiasts!
You should be over a million subs by now. Best educator on the tube by far. Great work. Thank you
Thank you! I’d love that! Be sure to tell all your friends!
Great video! You explain things in a great way. Thanks!!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Such a great explanation!
Thank you! I’m glad that you found it helpful. I have tons more wiring videos too if you find yourself yearning for more! 😂
I've been building my dream car for a while now, mechanical and fabrication I can do, wiring I cannot. I tried looking for complete noob wiring videos a few times but didn't come across yours until recently. I can only assume you set out to use your knowledge to help those who don't know where to start and want it explaining in plain English from top to bottom, and my god you have succeeded. I want to build a completely new body harness for the car to have only what I want and need, how I want it, and I didn't know where to start. But after watching almost all of your videos I actually have the confidence to do so and will be ordering all my wiring supplies in the near future. Keep up the good work man, you do it flawlessly.
Anything that I can do to help keep a cool car on the road makes me feel good! I’m glad that you’re enjoying the videos, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch them! Thank YOU, and stay tuned, I’ve got lots more left to do!
If I was 16 again and this channel was available in 1995, my custom wiring harness business would probably have been a big success. I have been building hotrod harnesses for almost 30 years and if anyone is interested in learning about wiring, relays, fuses etc, this channel is the best as far as I am concerned.
@@TheRoadhammer379 - heck yes! Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I’m glad that so many are enjoying the content!
That's modern art.
Haha! Thank you! If you think that is good check out my personal favorite ua-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/v-deo.html
👍🏻Awesome job explaining it! I enjoy you get to the point right away.
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Concise ~ your videos are like therapy for my short attention span! Thanks a lot
Haha! I should totally watch my own videos then, I could use a whole lot of therapy! Seriously though - Thank you for watching - it’s really appreciated!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
Thanks, Ratty.
The best tutorial on relays, I have seen.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
this is fantastic thank you for sharing !
Thank you bro u r great teacher i learned much things from you🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Great explanation! Very easy to understand. Good work. 👍
Thank you! I appreciate the great feedback!
Good Job, should do one on fusible link wires.
Thanks for watching!! I agree. Fusible links could be a good one!
Great video! Question for negative sided switching. You have the high amp fuse sending power to both the switch and load, but there is no lower fuse for the switch as in the positive sided switch. Wouldn’t that possibly burn the switch? Thanks!
Thanks for the info
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Good stuff, thanks. Regarding the middle example. Guessing the yellow fuse would probably be whatever the switch itself is rated for? Then as for 3-prong switches, assuming it's just the same setup except the 3rd prong being a ground?
Ok, so could we use a two prong flasher in line with 87a to alternate the side marker lamps and front turn signals like a wig wag ?
I have LED white/yellow bulbs to utilize the nice clear lenses in the grille as both daytime tuning lights and switch to yellow for turn signal when there is a load on them
I have the same ones in my older Grand Cherokee, Auxitos have lasted me quite a while so far.
The new side marker lamp assemblies I have are also LED.
Would love for them to alternate flashing
By far the best videos out there for auto wiring. You got that Mr Rodgers vibe with that Neal Degrassi of the auto wiring world knowledge. You make it all approachable, understandable and something to enjoy. Thank you!...p.s. working on a 1963 Buick Riviera.
Instead of several relays which are ignitioned triggered, why not to add just one giant 200A relay and let this control an extra fuse box. This wiring will be ignition triggered and attached to this fuse box are components like power windows, headlights, turn signals, radiator fan, fuel pump etc. Will this work?
Great video! I'm planning on installing whip lights in a utv using a relay and a 5 pin rocker switch and I want to be able to run the lights when I'm stopped with the key off. Would wiring it with a negative trigger alow this to happen? Thanks
Thanks....great video and explanation.... But quick question..... How will lights stay off.... With switch ON, the high beams are on .... With switch OFF, the low beams are on..... So how to switch both off ? Coz when i switch off the car the lights will stay on? How does that part work.... Just wondering..... Do i add another ON/OFF switch to control power to the light switch or pin 30 to the Key ignition?
❤nice one
Thank you!
Great explanation ...
But you have got a relay without a diode or resistor ??!
I think this may burn the ecu in future..
@rattymusclecar - You stated another use for negative triggers "were if you had a whole bank of relays under the hood..." and it got me thinking and now asking if you could do a comparison of the benefits between wiring positive and negative triggers in relay banks for "race car" style panels. I am finishing up my panel under the dash using your videos: Hotrod race car wiring and the inertia switch video. Your comment about negative triggers has me wondering if I could have done the wiring differently and therefore making it even nicer by running less wires via negative triggers. What do you think?
Man I fried my windshield wipers messing with my radio this video about to save my life bro
Heck yes! Happy to help!
You should make a video of wiring pop up headlight motors!
I have a question regarding this wondering if you can help. I have a headlight that is using its original harness and an additional for the led lights I purchased . But they have included a line for signal lights no negative line integrated in the led but it has only 1 line for signal . I have purchased a generic harness ( street legal kit) and tried splicing in on there positive with the signal led it also has an led flash relay it recognized it starts flashing as soon i put the positive of the harness on a positive terminal the signal indicator colum that came with the kit is in the off position what could this be . Any help is greatly appreciated.
Can we use one fuse in middle wiring +ve line trigger relay.
Willing to show us how to read Mitchell on demand alldata…. Schematics? Not only reading/following along but how to interpret and locate info along the wire or in boxes….
That’s a solid idea! I’ll add it to my to-do list and figure out how so can easily display something like that. Hmmm
Subscribed and learning from you, Thank you. I have seen, so far, about five of your wiring vids. Great stuff including the race car ones (Demolition derby fan here) and Im trying to apply what your showing here, in this vid, to something you touched on. For me my cars headlights must be on/auto in order to turn on the "fog" lights. To me, amber fog lights are negated with headlights having to be on.. eesh. im not asking for direct help but welcome for sure, maybe direct me to one of your videos that will suport my plight :). Is it this one? Oh and i'd noticed in some of your builds you tell why or some common probs/trouble ppl have like tips on diods. Thats welcome info for sure.

How could you use the light switch as the "kill switch"? I was thinking that every time I need to start the car I have to turn the light on first. Once the drive is over you turn off the car and the lights.
You are very welcome. I'm wondering. It embarrassing to admit I was a mechanic for years. I pretty much stopped working on cars oh mid 90s. Needless to say I didn't do wiring hahaha. Buy do u have a video on how to find shorts ?? I've got a 91 standard cab base 2.5 4 cylinder automatic S10 and I have a short that's popped up. It blows the running light and dash light fuse. I have an idea it's got something to do with the radio I just put in it. I used wires that went to the old radio. When I turn headlights on the radio turns off an now its blowing the fuse. I have to admit I did try cleaning up some of my wiring glum I had from putting gages, a push button and a couple toggle switches in. After watching a lot videos etc. Bmi apologize for bothering you with all this I'm sure it's a radio wire and I can find the problem BUT I would love to be able to or know how to actually be able to pin pint it hopefully by just needing a ohm meter a test light. I apologize again and any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks jeff
Ok Mr. Ratty Muscle Car, I have a rebel wiring harness with a fuse box. Would it be proper to use the same hotwire coming from the fuse box to power your switched line going to pin 86 and coming out of the fuse box send power to pin 30 as long as it's before your switch going to pin 86. Seems to me doing it this way you only use one fuse to cover 2 lines
That should be okay to do, but just be aware that the same fuse that protects your accessory is the one that protects your switch. So it’s possible that the switch side of the circuit OR the accessory side of the circuit could pop the fuse making diagnosing issues a tiny bit more challenging.
Lastly - I’m am just some random guy on the internet, so please do additional research so your info comes from multiple reliable sources! :)
The electric fan on my truck is wired to run on a ground leg instead of a hot. For the exact reason mentioned, grounds out nothing burns down just the fan comes on.
How do the steering horn switch will work with negative power
Watch my horn video and find out! ua-cam.com/video/eu0vQKKDVho/v-deo.html
I sure like 87A...
Does the fuse that’s going to #30 have to be sized for the device it could be controlling or the size of the relay? If that wiper motor is 20 anp and the relay is 40 amp rating, what size fuse goes to #30 ?
The fuse should be rated for the device that the relay is controlling. So in your example, you would want a 20-25 amp fuse on pin 30.
Can you make a diagram for wiring a relay to a 3 prong rocker switch?
🤗👍👌👏👏
Is their a negative and a positive trigger relay. Or it just depends how you wire it up?
It’s determined by the way that you wire it. The relay itself is the same. :)
Have you done a 4door power window wiring circuit sample video?
I have not yet, but I bought the window motor so that I can make a video for it! :) stay tuned!
Whoops - I guess I answered you from my other channel! ;)
@@WiringRescue your the reason my car is running tbh I followed your starter circuit video
Can you do a wiring color code video?
That’s a good idea! I believe there are some general color guidelines on wiring a car, however I’m not super familiar with them. I’ll look into it though and see what I can do!
@@WiringRescue I'm currently rewiring my EFI system on my 1988 Toyota Cressida. I noticed that everytime I see a yellow wire, it's always 12v from switch and red wire always B+ (12v always on) and it's the same with other car I've worked on. Btw, thanks for replying. I've been thinking about this for weeks and got no clear answer (from the internet).
I must pay you sir...
I mean, I won’t stop you 😂 There is a “Thanks” button under the video for that exact purpose! 🎉 I’ll always take a free coffee!
Your information is great. Do you have to use Mr. Peppy voice the entire video?
You took time out of your day to write something to make me feel bad about myself. That’s really unfortunate. Maybe you can use this as an opportunity to do better next time. I’d recommend that you find this info somewhere else that suits your audio needs.
@@WiringRescue Now I feel bad about myself. That really hurt. I was trying to help your videos.
@@Beobout6. For around 15 years I have made commercials for TV, informercials, political and university videos working with many hundreds of business’s, business owners and on air talent. I have directed, shot and edited spots using high dollar commercial cameras, editing suites and audio equipment. I have made a lot of people and business owners look good on air and I was very good and successful at what I did. Listen to your older videos like, “Remove the Stuck Rotor”. You should use that mature serious voice. Sorry if you still feel bad. My (personal) experience is that a person exposed to the public needs thick skin. Also, as I said your information is good stuff and accurate. Just trying to help.
This channel makes car electronics sexy.
Why thank you! I'm doing my best to help out my fellow car-enthusiasts! Thanks for watching!
So simple, it's confusing. Just show the relay diagram, blade connections, and use the terms normally open and normally closed for relay outputs.
Not everyone learns the same way. If this isn’t your style, there are tens of thousands of relay wiring schematics on the internet. And most relays even have the diagram on the top.
Why do you americans confuse GROUNDS with NEGATIVE? How is this even possible without catching fire? You guys needs lots of fuses.
