Lawerence, I haven`t dealt with the MB relay. My DPO replaced it
with a Ford relay. The Ford relay has two large connectors and two
small. One of the small connectors is used on Fords to send 12V to
the coil. You could use it to power the indicator bulb. You would
have to ground the other side of the bulb to get it to work. (You
will need to ground the base of the relay to get it work right. So if
you mount it on plastic, be sure run a ground.) Bobby
