Thanks for the replies. I ended up pulling a relay from a microwave logic board, laying it sideways, securing it with RTV, and wiring it to the board. No question it could handle the current. The only question was the current draw of the relay. It worked perfectly and saved the bacon of my mechanic. It was a freebe job, but he owes me one! (He thought it was the mirror motor and charged the customer for it. The customer still made out much cheaper.) Thanks to all of you who helped me. I learned about Google search engine and NTE relays. That's a source that never occured to me.
