About 6 months ago I bought a spare fuel pump relay that thankfully I've never needed the use. Today, I swapped them and found the spare not to be working. I bought from a a guy on ebay whom I've had good dealings with in the past, claimed to have tested and found relay to be in working order? The part numbers match the only difference being, the working relay is stamped Germany and has copper contacts and the spare is stamped Hungary and has steel contacts. I opened the spare to check out the solder points, they look okay? Is there a difference between Germany and Hungary relays or did I just buy a bad relay

I have both German and Hungarian but they were new.Some people think German anything is always better than Another mfg or country.Maybe you got a bad relay.I know it is not a very good answer.But there were be replies that German is the only way to go.I really think it dosent matter.See if the ebay seller would send you another if you send it back.

Thanks for the info ostfront.
Yeah, I think the relay is just no good. I re-soldered all the points, but it didn't help any. In comparing the two, the German relay seems to have the higher quality components.
