Heater Relay Capacitor Question
 
Hi everyone. Hopefully someone can help me with this question. This is in a 1986 Porsche Carrera 3.2L coupe, although I don't think that matters. So my heater really gave out, and I decided that I want to try and repair it. I have another installed in the car, but just trying to have a spare.
When I opened the case, it appears that my 2 capacitors look very different. Both of them (denoted with arrows) have leaked and there's gunk stuck to the circuitboard. What I would like to find out is what you all know the capacitors should be. I have seen several pictures on this site that have 2 orange capacitors, and I don't recall seeing any with a black and an orange.

I'm trying to make sure I'm getting the right ones. Here's what they say:
Orange Capacitor is 47µF at 16v
Black Capacitor is 1µF at 63v

The Black capacitor seems off, and I'm struggling to find a replacement easily (ordered one, but that's coming from China). Hopefully someone can help with what theirs may read.

Thanks!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1581519538.jpg

Voltage rating is higher, but should be fine.

I appreciate that.

I think the capacitors are glued to the PCB instead of leaking ? (in the back this relay gets a lot of vibration from the engine)

I would go for a voltage rating of 25V or even higher as the electric system sees a lot of transient spikes. All these old 16V caps are a bit too narrow of a margin if you ask me. Same issue with them in the cruise control unit

That’s good to know about the voltage.
