Leveling system solenoid

[Pete Masterson]

They're by Bosch and don't get cheap, Chinese-made replacements as
they'll fail quickly. Better auto parts stores should carry them, but
you may need to ask. Often the cheap ones are in blister packs on
racks in the automotive electrical department.

I bought a bunch of Bosch relays to have on hand from an eBay vendor
-- about $1 each or so. Genuine Bosch in a 20/30 amp-rating. This URL
is similar to what I purchased:

(You may need to piece this back together)

Or just search eBay for "Bosch relay". You can get them with and
without sockets.

This URL is for a PDF with a bunch of wiring diagrams showing
operation of a Bosch relay.

And this web site has a great description of how a relay works:
