Car stereo shops sell a five pole relay which switches from circuit a to
circuit b. They use the relays to hook up door locks to alarm systems. Ford
was notorious for using a reversal to ground system on its locks. The current
would run one way through the system to lock and reverse polarity to unlock.
Check online vendors such as www.crutchfield.com for the alarm relays.

Subject: headlight relay
Does anyone know where I can get a solid state replacement for the headlight
relay. I upgraded the wiring so the current relay only has enough amps to
throw the high and low beam relays I added, but when I hit bumps my high
beams will go off for a second beacuse the original relay looses contact. I
would really like to replace it with a solid state relay but the only ones
available locally act as a on off switch, not a switch between 2 positions.
I hope that made some sense.
Thanks
Ian
