⚙️ Key Features

  • 24V engine-heater switching relay
  • Used with thermostat switch 21261444
  • Designed for high-current heater loads
  • Documented across TD5/TAD5 and TD7/TAD7 industrial engines
  • 12V relay 20998739 is a different voltage version

🔌 Function

The relay allows the low-current thermostat switch to control the high-current engine-heater circuit safely.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Engine heater not energising
  • Heater remaining on continuously
  • Relay clicking without supplying output
  • Burnt or overheated terminals
  • Voltage drop across closed relay contacts
  • Blown fuse or melted wiring

🛠️ 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
