Wanted Delco Remy part number for a MC-2 reverse relay
« on: May 12, 2016, 08:44:37 PM »
 Hi my reverse relay that feeds power to the reverse solenoid is hooped. It is a Delco Remy and my manual show 7B-5-26 as the part number but I would like the Delco Remy part number and possibly I can buy it locally.

Is there a mfg and part number on the relay itself. Usually they have the mfg number, not the MCI number, and typically multiple manufacturers will make the same relay.

In general, the MCIs (5s, 8s, 9s, etc) use an 8 pin octal 24v DPDT relay for everything except the blower cut-in which is a 12v relay.

Maybe post a photo.

  My entire bus is 12 volt and after more investigation I have a wiring issue to the relay. My reverse switch is a momentary switch that goes back to the off position after moving it to the on position. What happened was my switch stayed on after I put it in reverse and I didn't notice it. I replaced the switch and still didn't have reverse. So doing more checking it is a wiring issue that I have not solved yet. I know there is a circuit breaker somewhere, yet to be found.

The Eagle or GM will have the 12v reverse solenoid MCI's are going to be 24v
