Unfortunatly Morgster, I made a critical erroe in my typing, The numbers do not correspond to any wire in particular, rather just listing the wires. Most after-market relays are made a company called Bosch, you probably have heard of them, they make alot of different products (spark plugs). As for 4 pole and 5 pole, They are both used in automotive applications, the wire that is eliminated in the 4 pole would be the wire that allows for a switch (even though it is not connected to that. 4 poles are wired a little different. relays are also wire different if the parking light cicut in the car is a negative trigger and not positive (need not worry, not sure about the liberty, but all other jeeps are a positive trigger)
As for the poles, they are numbered as follows: 30, 87a, 87, 86, 85. PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE ME 100%, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS SINCE I WAS A MECP INSTALLR AND I MAY HAVE SOMETHING BACKWARDS< CHECK THE DIRECTIONS! 87a is the wire that goes to Ground. This is the wire that is not present on the 4 pole setup. I also believe it is the wire that is in the center of the relay. 87 would go to the strobe via a switch, 86 would go to a constant, and 30 would either be constant, or ignition, depending on if you want the relay to power up with the ignition or all the time. and 85 would go to the park lights circut (so the strobes would only work with the park lights on. I am getting confused try to remember this stuff, but if you have the instructions, use them![addsig]
