1324492 Relay | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This is a genuine Volvo Penta relay from the Other Electrical Equipment group, used as a switching element within the engine and drive electrical circuits to control higher-current loads from a low-current control signal. It is the current replacement for the earlier relays 872300 and 854357, and is supplied together with a mounting instruction because the mounting arrangement differs from the superseded parts. Coverage spans a broad span of Volvo Penta marine diesel and petrol installations as well as SX and DP sterndrive/transom shield applications.

🔌 Function

The relay uses a low-current control signal to open or close a higher-current circuit, allowing switches, control panels and electronic systems to operate loads such as starter circuits, solenoids, pumps or lighting. This protects control wiring and switchgear from carrying full load current.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Controlled circuit does not energise, or works only intermittently
• Audible clicking without the load actually switching on
• Contacts remain closed after the control signal is removed, leaving the circuit permanently live
• Burnt, discoloured or corroded terminals and a scorched smell around the relay body
• Voltage drop or overheating at the relay under load due to worn internal contacts

🛠️ Service Notes

• Isolate the batteries before removing or fitting a relay, and note the connections as they come off
• Fit like for like — coil voltage, contact rating, pin layout and any diode or resistor built across the coil must match the original, since a relay that plugs in is not necessarily the correct one
• Check the base, socket and terminals for corrosion, spread or burnt contacts and confirm the supply and earth paths before condemning a relay; damp connections and poor earths cause more of these faults than the contacts themselves
• Mount the relay in its original clip or holder so it stays secure and as dry as possible — vibration and moisture are the usual killers in a marine installation
• On petrol installations, only ignition-protected electrical devices should be fitted in the engine space or fuel tank compartment, so use parts approved for that use
