HJ60 EDIC replacement

apocalypsegrrrl · 12-15-07, 11:27 AM

My electrical guy did a quick fix on the EDIC relay, so now I can turn my truck off w/o lifting the hood. However, it's only temporary, so I need to replace the relay. I've got an inquiry into Roodogs about a new one. But here are my questions:

A. Any trick to replacing this thing? It looks pretty dang simple, but then again, I can complicate most situations pretty quickly.

B. Can I pick up a used one that will be any good? It's for a 12 volt, HJ60, Aussie spec, with a 2H. It looks like a common problem, so if I get a used one, will it probably blow in a couple months?

C. Any warnings about what I can expect to pay? I've heard "expensive" but that's all relative...

Thanks,

Alot of people go to a manual operation, once the origional is INOP. Do a search, you'll find alot of info

Tri-cities. No green here!

I don't think I want to go manual. I know a lot of people do it, but I want to try to keep it OG status.

post an ad in the classifieds in MUD. The diesel classifieds.

A 12 volt BJ60 edic relay may also work.

They are held on with a couple screws and have a plastic connector. Very easy to change.

The relay is simple to replace, just plugs in. Couple bolts hold it position and has a plug on it.

There are I believe two versions or should I say the same relay but with different plugs on the end.

Post a picture so we know which one. They are $10-$40 from a 4x4 wrecker and very comon here.

Send Roodogs a photo so he know which one. I buy a lot of stuff from him. Toyota still sell the part as well here.
