Purchase Corvette Seat Belt Interlock Override Relay, 1974-75 in Golden, Colorado, United States

Condition:Used

Here's a used original GM 1243384 seat belt interlock override relay as installed on 1974-75E Corvettes. The seat belt electronics were 'improved' in 1974 to prevent engine startup in the event the car's seat belts weren't in use and seat sensors detected weight in the seat(s).

As a safeguard against system electronic malfunction, the 1243384 relay with its START button was located in the engine compartment to enable an electronic bypass. This was a short-lived system that was eliminated roughly mid-way through the '75 model year.

There were several suppliers of the seat belt interlock override relay. This is a used original GM 1243384 with an Essex manufacturer's emboss that's very clean. It's been bench tested and comes with a no-DOA warranty.

Mechanically identical to the newly updated MP4-12C coupe, the Spider gets a unique retractable hard-top to keep out the rain, just in time for its wintry lanch in November 2012. How is the McLaren 12C Spider's folding roof unique?

Porsche has equipped its Cayenne SUV with a twin-turbo diesel engine, creating (no surprises here) the Cayenne S diesel. The 4.2-litre bi-turbo oil-burner puts out 376bhp and a rather wholesome 626lb ft of torque. That latter figures bests even the flagship petrol Cayenne Turbo: that car's twin-blown petrol V8 produces 'only' 516lb ft - and costs around £28k more than the Cayenne S Diesel.
