30: B+ Power
85: Earth/ground
86: Remote power in
87: Power out...

be sure to insulate terminal 87a, or wire it to a switched power source or that terminal will be live when the relay is not energized.

or put the output on 30 and the 12volts on 87a then u dont have to worry about insulating anything

i usually use 30 as the output.

And I don't... :wink:

But I have mostly worked with European cars for a living...

Buuut.. I worked with Chrysler for 3 years (from 1995 to 1998), and if I recall right, Chrysler (read: new cars) used 30 as B+ and etc. aswell....
