72 Seatbelt relay

[Ed D.]

I am looking for a replacement seatbelt relay for a May build 72. The original relay is made by "Littlefuse Inc" with a part number 3961573. This is a latter model with no timer and a load sencer in the passenger seat. I have looked around and cant seem to find anyone selling old relays that are identifiable Any help would be appreciated.

Ed,
They come up on Ebay once in a while. One just sold a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks Dave, Hope you guys got home from FL ok. I looked on Ebay today and did not see any. I guess I am at an age where you cant wait to long to fix things. I'll keep looking,

There are several on eBay right now. A few of them are expensive but there's one new one there (no box, though) that's reasonable. Purchase only the 3961573. No other part number ever replaced it (regardless what some sellers might claim).

Joe thanks for the information. I was hoping there was some replacement part numbers. Guess I will have to be patient.

You don't need to be patient. You could buy this NEW one right now for about 40 bucks.
