Double relay test

Hi all I have a Bosch double relay that I would like to sell however I'm unsure if it works, anybody know how I would test it?

Thanks in advance

 

if its 12v, connect 12v to the relay coil and listen for the click as the contacts close

you can confirm contacts are open/closed using a multimeter

Sorry I don't want to sound dim but what's the relay coil? The relay came in a box of parts with my van, the fuel injection system is no longer fitted as I have swapped to a type 1

 

relays use a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field, once energised the magnetic field pulls on the contacts and closes them (or opens them depending on the relay)

most relays have a diagram on the side showing the pin numbers to help you work out which is the coil and which is the contacts

 

Thanks @theBusmonkey I'll give that a go

 

Brilliant thanks for the help I'll get it tested and hopefully somebody will be able to put it to use
