I tried Autozone and they would special order me one for $30. I didn't want to chance getting the wrong one so I picked up a spare at a junkyard and resoldered it instead. When our main relays go bad it's typically because one of the soldered connections came apart. Pop the cover off yours and take a look. If it's already broken you won't make it any worse by trying to resolder it.

you have to know what youre looking for and you gotta know how to solder good, those relays are tricky. Also if you resolder 1 joint it will crack the rest of them so resolder all of them. Ive been starting to get into fixing these things, so far i just have 4th gen reman ones
