This relay will not fit in the Klima socket. But your question made me think again, and infact, you should be able to do a bypass operation inside the Klima relay itself. Do you consider yourself a good electrical person ?

The relay can be opened by just cutting (using a blade cutter) all the way around the 4 edges where the relays pins are coming out from. You would see glue all around and that is what you are trying to cut. Once the edhes are cut, the cover will seperate from the board, the board is attached with the terminals of the relay.

Once you have opened it, the terminal on the board corresponding to socket's terminal 10 can be identified. Just scrape the copper around this terminal on the board, i.e. isolate the terminal from the rest of the circuit. Now locate the terminals of the coil of the relay. Isolate these terminals from the rest of the circuit by cutting copper around them also. Double check all the isolations using a multimeter. Those isolated terminals should not beep with any other parts of the circuit.

Now solder a wire FROM the terminal corresponding to socket's terminal 5 on the board TO one of the isolated relay coil terminal. Next, solder a wire FROM the isolated terminal corresponding to socket's terminal 10 TO the other isolated relay coil terminal.

Make sure that there are no accidental shorts. Then insert the relay car into the socket to test that your bypass actually worked.

You can now put the board back into the cover and using a glue gun, seal it.

It is possible that such a relay is readily available, I dont know the source. If you are not comfortable with electronics, send it to me, I will gladly do it for you.
