Main Relay Part Number?

Hi,

Anyone know the OEM Part Number on their main relay?
I went to Autozone to get and they have 2 of them.
They have two different part numbers and have a $1 difference.
I really cant take my relay out right now because it is too dark out and i gotta drive it tommorow morning to school.
If anyone has one could u tell me the part number?
Also, these new relays have the problem fixed right?
Thanks

Here are the numbers off the parts themsleves:

38600-SH3-A111-M1 Multi Function relay mounted behind fuse box

RZ-0063 Mitsuba, Relay ass’y, Main Japan 12V


FYI: The "problem" is from heat cycling... Most ALL relays and such develop bad solders over time... Most bad solders are due to the wave soldering process used during manufacturing.


PS: You do know what wave soldering is???

What has happended is over time and use over the years the relay has heated up while in use, then cooled off while car was turned off.

This causes cracks in the soldered joints. To fix you just re-solder the joints. Best way is the wick the old solder off, then apply new solder.

Costs almost nothing to do, can be done in a few minutes time.

Just an idea.

PS: See my other post about the numbers.
