The Pelican Chinese made Hella sorta fits,pins are right but mounting holes are wrong......how long they last who knows?



I purchased one of those too, pin location was off .15 inch so would not fit in location.


My relay board cover wouldn't fit properly also,don't think the pelican one was intented for the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

I know this is kind of an old thread, but hoping someone using the Duralast VR can clear my confusion. The part pictured in posts above does not look like it would fit the 914 relay board, but the product description on the autozone page also shows pics of this part which looks to be plug and play. Can anyone clarify which one you get when ordered? @Spoke @VaccaRabite

Make sure it doesn't provide more than about 13.4 V or it'll cook your battery.

Can't find output specs on the web site but was figuring any electrical part that Spoke uses must be good.

Throw a voltmeter on the thing immediately after turn on. You may have to measure this at the battery.

Here's the one I bought. It has wires and a connector but it looks like there would be space for the VR to attach directly to the connector on the relay board.

My VR provides just about 14V. The new alternator on my 930 provides about 14V as well. I think this is a safe voltage to operate at.

Interesting; my local Autozone wants $37.99 for it, but says lifetime warranty.
Also, one of their pictures shows the connectors in the epoxy bottom, but the others show a 3 wire stub cable with the connector. Wonder if the guy who makes up the pictures has ever seen one.

Yeah, those pictures are what threw me. Autozone couldn't get one to me for a week so I bought this one from O'Reilly's which should be here in the morning.

Re-reviving an old post. I would have liked to know that that part doesn't quite fit. It was nice that O'reilys can get the part within a day for just over 50$. But the tab offset is too short. So, I cut of it off. Now there's 14V at the battery. So maybe that's ok. The generator light is still on though.

@stoneman30hotmail

Good that you have 14V at the battery. What is the voltage at D+ to chassis? The voltage across the GEN light is the difference between D+ and battery (through fuse F9). If D+ is also 14V, then with engine off, pop out the guage with GEN light, start the car and measure both sides of the GEN light. They should be the same.
