There is no NC contact in this relay. It only has a NO contact. The included plug does have five wires as stated, its just that one of them goes to nothing.
Seller could have written a better description.

Despite the other reviews, the item I received had both normally open and normally closed wires, and contacts on the relay, even though I was only interested in the normally open.

The item works as advertised. I had to purchase this to use as a relay to trigger the parking lights from a bulldog keyless entry system. Nothing fancy about the part. It works as advertised.

I got this relay to wire up my parking lights to my Bulldog keyless entry system. A word of advice, even though this says it's from Bulldog, and is part number 775, the instructions in the Bulldog kit have different wire colors than the ones that are on this relay. So be sure to follow the numbers and where they are wired to, not the colors. Otherwise, awesome addition to my security system!

I am surprised to see bad reviews on this item. I ordered two. Both arrived in original package, with all 5 pins and pig tail with it. I used it to alternate lighting in my car. Both relays worked out of the box. One suggestion, I know this item is intended for use by tech guys, but it would help to have a simple description of the pinout. I could not remember and had to search on line for it.

good quality product, just what i needed..
went to 3 local stores, and they only had relays with wireless kits and stuff like that..
this works for all you need on your car

I bought two of these and they were exactly as described, 5 wire sockets, and the relay had both 87 and 87A contacts, (Normally Open, and Normally Closed). Other reviewers indicate they received the 5 wire socket with only a 4 pin relay (without the NC contact 87a), but I received the correct 5 pin relay. Worked great.

If you're installing your own remote starter you can't go wrong here. Bulldog security remote starters specifically recomend this unit. They provide all necessary diagrams using the wiring colors in the provided harness. I wound up buying too few for my install and had to run out to my local auto supply store. They had relays, but no harnesses to plug them into. The relay alone was twice what this costs! For the price of this buy a few extra! If you're project needs 2, buy 4. I'm certain once you start your install you'll find you needed the extras.

I was looking for a 5-terminal relay because I need the 87a terminal to switch something off versus switching it on. This is listed with a 5-wire harness and I foolishly thought it was a 5-terminal relay and it was not. I am sending it back.

I always test new products to make sure they are functioning correctly before using them in a complex circuit and out of the two I ordered only one worked correctly, The one that didn't work had continuity bleed through the normally open terminal. I guess you get what you pay for.
