Argh.  excel just crashed after 30 minutes of entering relay data. 
Trying to set up a relay part number reference page on my site, with a
form to send me more info.  Not that this has much to do with the

and one relay for each side high beams, just old stock from wrecks in my
parts box.

PS are you sure that's 959 and not 951?
