I purchased a box of six differently colored solid-core 18 AWG wire and a new variable temp soldering iron on Ebay for this project, and it made it much easier. If you haven't already solved your problem, you may want to refer to my photos in my post at the end of this thread.
Thanks for your post. Very informative with the pics and wiring diagram. Too late for me as I bought the original, but now I have another route if my passenger side goes out. Was the soldering difficult? I am only a newbie at it and had no problem with the original, but your pics show it may be beyond my skill.

Alex2324,

I looked at the ebay listing and it is unclear if the part for sale is a NAIS CR2-12V or a different part. If different, can you share a photo of it?

Thanks

I am interested to find out if the post is for real or simply a spam as same thing got added to 4 different threads by a new member. I have blocked the post in other threads.

I originally suspected he is the ebay vendor. If he is, I doubted he would post the photo. If not, hopefully he or someone else will post with some info to confirm the validity of the claim.

Hi Lexmus, yes its a NAIS relay... I didn't get a picture of it before installing, but it fit fine... the pins lined up with the holes... it wasn't as pretty as the original with the nice case, but it worked just like it supposed to, up and down!

Hi Salimshah, sorry for for the multiple posts, I searched hi and lo for this relay through these posts and others as I've been driving around with a plastic on my window for weeks and I've tried every thread on these links only to find they were sold out or discontinued, so I finally found it on ebay and thought I'd share the good news!!

I am not aware of any direct replacements. There are functionally similar H bridge relays available from Panasonic, but the pinning is different.
You have to wire them in place.

looks like quite a project. Is there no other source for the OEM relay? If not, I will try your fix.

Thanks,
