21. A replacement wireless relay comprising:
-
a. a relay, controlled by a microcontroller operably connected to a radio receiver, that receives instructions from a relay controller; b. said relay has a simulated resistor representative of a reference resistance; c. said instructions pass through commands that are sent to the relay control terminals to the relay switched terminals to allow the wireless relay to function the same as the relay it is replacing in the existing application; and d. said instructions from the relay controller are capable of opening or closing the relay switched terminals to override a command on the relay control terminals from the existing application. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A replacement wireless relay for a vehicle comprising:
-
a. a relay, controlled by a microcontroller operably connected to a radio receiver, that receives instructions from a relay controller; b. said relay has a simulated resistor representative of coil resistance in a vehicle; and c. said instructions pass through commands that are sent to the relay control terminals to the relay switched terminals to allow the wireless relay to function the same as the relay it is replacing in the existing application. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
