    Power door lock relay help

    That was my initial thought. But I doubted myself since Summit says it is, or will work as one. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ADO-D1724C Then I got frustrated when the connectors wouldn’t fit and the numbers were different than the relays I’m used to seeing.
