Trying to install something that requires a 5-pin relay, went to radio shack and all they had was a 4-pin. Thinking this would work, I got it and installed it. Of course, it didn't work. So now I need to find a place with a 5-pin, and since radio shack didn't have it, I'm sorta at a loss. Any ideas?

I could do online, but I really want to have it Monday, so I'll check the auto parts store, thanks! Amazon has it for $1.75 from parts express.
How about a 4-gauge, 80A fuse holder? I'm guessing that will just be online...

WTF?!?
It wouldn't be wise to put a 80A fuse on your car. Your battery will die and your alternator will follow soon on anything that requires a 80A fuse. You need to make sure your relay can handle 80A if you're putting a 80A fuse on the system.
Try mouser.com for all your electronics needs. You've definately taken on a large scale project that will require engineering. Mouser.com engineered for engineers.

2 separate projects here, both are for the car. The relay is for the keyless entry, the 80A fuse (probably going to do 70, but the fuse holder has to hold 4gauge wire) is for my power inverter that I posted about awhile back. While still having a 70A fuse, I will probably only pull a max of 20-30A or so, but the peak should be around 70ish amps. Again, I'm not worrying at all about maxing out my battery or alternator, we've been through that before.
And I was wanting a local place for this stuff, I've found it all online, but I wanted to finish it up tomorrow, hence the local stuff. Oh well.
