2.0 Bongo Dashboard & Tail Light Relay Failure

Post by baldycooty » Mon Nov 22, 2010 2:56 pm

I have discovered that the above relay is not working. I thought it would be simple to Google the name and find a replacement but I have got nowhere! Does any kind soul out there know where I can get hold of an Imasen J150 DC12 N.O 2110 Relay? If not, does anyone know if I can use one of the relays that Halfords sell, and if so, which one? I am new to this, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

apart from look, its only a standard 4 pin relay and at worst case you just have to replace standard wiring with crimps. Your reffering to the relay bolted to nsf inner wing i assume.

The fuse is rated at 15Amp so a 20Amp relay would be fine;

The DC12 means 12 Volts DC operating voltage
N.O means Normally Open, i.e. switch closes when operated
Quite a lot of those relays have clip on covers that can be opened to check and clean the contacts if required.

If you are meaning one of the rubber covered ones on the nearside inner wing I have a selection here, PM me the numbers of yours tonight and will look in the workshop in morning and can PM a price.

hi baldycooty,


In response to you're situation, i had the same problem a few weeks ago.
Did you're side lights stay on? (only way to turn them off is to pull fuse out under bonnet?)

If you have a local mazda dealer near you, they can get you 1 for £14.

If you can't turn you're side lights off, you may have a further problem. In the light stalk, (right hand side) there is a tiny pin hole, be very carefull as you do this because a tiny spring wil pop out. What you might find is that in the end of the stalk a piece of thin copper will be around the stalk, this makes the contact to the relay under bonnet. I found out that this went completly black and burnt as i was getting a perm live. I since have changed this.
