I need a relay socket

[MaineShark]

Does anyone know a good source for a relay socket to take a 14089936 (GM part number) relay? It's the relay that powers the MAF power in the '87 through '89 cars, as well as the fuel pump in '88 and '89, as well as some (all?) fans in '88 through '93, and probably some other stuff.

Personally, I want to use a couple of them for the electric fans I'm installing. I can get the relays with no trouble, but GM wants $50 each for the sockets. That's more than I'm willing to spend for a piece of plastic...

Are there any better sources for this socket? I'd like to get one new, but if I have to, I'll go to a junkyard...

Joe, if you can provide a picture for me (I don't have a mental image of it in my head at the moment, and my books are with my car down south), I probably will have that part available for you when all is said and done. I don't use MAF anymore.

I'll give it to you for postage cost.

I believe this is the one he is speaking about...believe it or not, but Pep Boys has a pretty good selection of sockets on there floor. If this isn't the one, let me know and I will delete the pic.

Thanks Jon. If it is the same as the fuel pump relay, then I have one from my old 4+3 relay, which is the same part number as the fuel pump relay. I should have a couple in that case Joe, not counting my fuel pump relay.

I've been buying relay sockets at my local junkyard - either hand them the relay and say "Find one..." or sometimes they'll let me hit the yard and search myself. GM used the same sockets in a bunch of vehicles (got one of my fan relay sockets from a Cutlass). And I'm paying about a buck apiece for them.

Thanks, Ken. I've sent you an email.
