      Oddball relay question

      Hi, on our 2009 aveo i read lots of posts on here about replacing the starter relay due to sporatic starting.
      problem is i went to auto zone and they ordered it for me since it was not in store.
      the one in my car is smaller than what is called out for.

      Do i have a demon aveo thats different ? Heres a pic of my fusebox and one with the grey relay from store.
      even rock auto shows the grey. Help please.

      Then take it back and get them order the right part. That picture will help them a lot.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      yours looks like mine.. not your replacement the one in the box.

      I have had the same issue you are trying to address, and I continue to have it as the car sits in the shop not getting moved around a lot. The best fix I have found is a strong battery. That stupid relay won't click if my battery dropped below 11.5 volts while cranking. Which my battery drains as I am not driving it. I have found most "typical" mechanics say a battery is good if it stays above 10 volts while cranking, that is not the case I have seen with my aveo. Even with the boost pack on the car if the batter residual charge is under 11.5 while cranking, it won't start.
