Fuel heater relay

Hi. Does anyone know if and where the fuel heater relay can be purchased. Can't seem to find one. It's for a 97. Thanks

There's nothing special about it that I know of - I believe a 30-amp normal-open (I believe) relay found at an auto parts store should work. Just to be sure, you're certain its the fuel heater relay you need, and not the relay for the fuel shutoff solenoid? They are next to each other and the FSS relay is heavier-duty.

I was putting in new fuel shutoff and was replacing that relay and it was suggested that the heater relay and fuseable link should be changed as well. I guess i just assumed the heater relay was as big as the shutoff relay. But Thanks I'll check that out.

Are you replacing the fusible link with a fuse or circuit breaker? Otherwise, there's really no point in replacing a fusible link - it's not like they deteriorate over time. I do agree, though, that if you ever overloaded such a circuit that it would be much more convenient to replace a fuse rather than a fusible link.
