If you can live without the relay being red and round you can use a generic 'Bosch type' accessory relay with the (common) 30-85-86-87-87A terminal designations

Doug is right any relay with the same wiring provisions will work. The reason this relay causes the aux fan to stay on
(above certain coolant temperatures ) is in the way it is wired into the circuit. See publication S 57 _ cooling fan section. Can be any color...

Carl, bright yellow would be nice too. Easier to find in the dark. And it coordinates with the fan.
