Relay circuit test extender

Abstract

A relay circuit test extender is adapted to facilitate testing of relays and relay circuits in a vehicle. The test extender includes a plurality of elongated bundled wires having first and second opposing ends, and adapted for carrying current in an electric circuit between a vehicle relay receptacle and a removable electric relay. A male connector is located at the first end of the bundled wires, and includes a plurality of electric pins electrically connected to respective wires and adapted for being inserted into respective pin openings of the vehicle relay receptacle. A female connector is located at the second end of the bundled wires, and defines a plurality of pin openings adapted for receiving respective pins of the removable electric relay. Upon connecting the male connector of the test extender to the vehicle relay receptacle and connecting the removable electric relay to the female connector of the test extender, the relay is tested in a live electric circuit at a location spaced apart from the vehicle relay receptacle.
