MAF Relays

Hello, I'm trying to find new power and burn-off relays, but having problems with the configuration. The harness I have calls for an oval shaped relay, 5 pin, 2 in one line, three in the other. Been to the dealer and napa, their relays are all 5 pin all in one line and rectangular. I bought one fuel pump relay on e-bay that is correct, p/n is 14103304. I had a 91 Suburban, tbi, that had this same relay, dealer said no, they all had the 5 pin in a row. Any ideas on this ? Thanks in advance !

Re: MAF Relays

Relays function the same, regardless of what style they are

If you correctly assign the wiring, a universal square relay will do the job

I would suggest upgrading to the later oval style relay because the old flat ones have a strong tendency to fall apart at the connector shorting the circuit out. You need the correct connector though. Grab one from a JY or PM me for a used original

Re: MAF Relays

What I'm trying to find are the oval relays to fit my aftermarket harness plugs, all I can find are the square ones. Thanks, Alex

While this statement is true in a general sense, it is not true when it comes to the MAF power and burn-off relays. Do a search (on the TGO board) and you will find the results.

True, but the question was about using oval relays in place of an older style. In this particular case, wire assignments and function are the same. Battery power in and relay out, call 12v and call grd. The only thing that changed was the relay internals. Its a matter of finding the proper PN for the relay

Autozone, Advanced, Napa, etc should have the relays. My '87 has the "square" relays, but the oval ones should be very easy to find. Do a search for MAF relays in the TPI section and you will find the answers.

Re: MAF Relays

Thanks guys, the number I've come up with thru search is 14089936(power and burn-off). Since this is the stock number from the factory, I pressume that is AC/Delco ? This is the oval shaped relay. Sorry to beat this to death, I don't have a stock application so I'm just trying to find the correct relays for the oval shaped plugs. Thanks for all the help !

Look up an '89 F-body for the oval style relays. Here is a link to Advanced for the MAF power relay. 14089936 is an OE number.
