The last A/C relay.
I just ordered the very last A/C relay known to mankind. Yeah, I didn't need it, my A/C doesn't work anyway, so I figured it was a sound investment. Taking offers right now.

I found a secret stash of them on a hook at the local electronics parts place. $925 each so I don't spoil Maleficio's market, and so he can afford to buy some clothes for that poor homeless woman he found tied to the leapard sofa.

I just checked and they have plenty in a warehouse in Thailand. I am thinking "roadtrip".

It's an interesting experience to get the last of an avialable part - sort of sad sometimes. When I was restoring my 88 Z about 5 years ago I got the last driver's side rubber trim piece for the side mirror from old stock at a dealership in Oregon. It does make owning an old car a bit unnerving to think you are relegated to used parts from then on.

Some may note, this also turned into a problem with the female part of the wiring connector coming apart and my spending another couple hours researching wiring diagrams and getting that connector reassembled. If I had stipulated Porsche parts, I would[delete "wouldn't"] have been enjoying life, not bitching here. If you are doing this, be careful, that connector is another skill you don't want to learn.

Okay, I’ll bite and try to add some interest.
If a relay is just a relay which is basically an on off switch that handles more current than an electronic type, why are there some many different ones on a 928? I could see more power or a different number of poles or something,
Seriously though… are people really paying big money for relays? If so, why? Just curious.

Settle down, boys. It's not the last A/C relay - he's just busting Randy's ***** over this thread.
And I'm just reading it because of his new avatar.
