Stupid Question
I have a 2011 HHR LT 2.4L. I have some electrical problems I think may be related to the ignition switch, but in doing some trouble shooting, I swapped out a couple of relays. My stupid question: Is there a right or wrong orientation on a 4 blade relay? I see no marks on the relay or the fuse box to indicate which way it should go in, but it seems like that would make a difference.
Thanks for your time.

4 blade shouldn't make a difference. If you think it is switch related why look at the relays? They are not directly connected to the switch. The switch is a 1 wire thing with a resistor in the switch.
Has the ignition switch recall been done? https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/gm-r...-status-50716/

Thanks for the quick reply. It was a long story leading to that conclusion. No, the recall hasn't been done. Right now I have a no crank situation and I wondered if the relay placement could cause the problem. It seems one of the contacts is supposed to be always hot, so wouldn't the direction matter. I can find nothing online. Also, how are the relays rated? I see several different part numbers in the fuse box.

You need the current and ground for the pull in coil.
Then you will need current in and out for the function.
A pull in coil can also just make the other relay contacts make a ground circuit also.
