I need a 12 amp relay for my fuel pump and don't know where to find one. I know I can order on-line but I want to go get one near me today.

I have an inline 30 amp fuse wired from my fuel pump to a switch up front. However, my fuse just failed... So I want to do this right.
Here's what I need, just don't know where to get a relay from.
12 amp relay with pigtails
30 amp fuse
10ga wire

Dealership or a salvage yard. Really not much else for you if you want it now.

You can get a relay anywhere that sells autoparts..... doesn't gotta be anything fancy. just get a spdt relay from a parts store. It'll do the job just fine.

Here's the list from deatschwerks website for there fuel pump wiring kit
Kit Includes:
30amp fused 10ga power cable
12Amp relay
Relay socket (with pigtails)
Ground cable
Heat shrink
Install instruction sheet

So what's wrong with me using exactly what they have here?
BTW, I didn't realize the regular auto parts stores offer relays. Stupid me, I've just never seen them in the store.

Yeah any part store will have relays. Otherwise audio shops as well will have them. Just ask for a spdt relay. Most will be 30 amp from like audio shops and such.
