⚙️ Key Features

• Lighting group part
• 0.045 kg
• Supersedes 873740
• Covers 194 applications across D, TAMD, AD, TMD, HS and KAMD series engines

• Also supersedes Volvo part numbers 873053, 873054, 873055 and 873056

🔌 Function

Switches a circuit under the control of a low-current signal, so a small switch or control output can carry a much larger load.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Circuit dead, or working only sometimes
• Relay chattering or buzzing instead of pulling in cleanly
• Contacts burnt, pitted or welded together, so the circuit stays live
• Burnt smell or discolouration at the relay or its base
• Terminals corroded, or the relay loose in its holder

🛠️ Service Notes

• The number it replaces, 873740, was catalogued earlier as a wiring harness, so older records against that number may describe it differently
• Check the supply, earth and connector before condemning the relay - a corroded terminal gives exactly the same intermittent behaviour
• Find why contacts burnt before fitting a new relay, as an overloaded or shorted circuit will destroy the replacement too
