The assembly includes a pair of absorbing members which receive a mounting bracket attached to the vehicle chassis and which are seated within a retaining sleeve of the relay housing. The absorbing members prevent contact between the mounting bracket and the relay housing and absorb the noise of the relay to prevent transmission to the vehicle chassis. An abutment flange and a retaining clip on the mounting bracket disposed on opposite sides of the retaining sleeve cooperate with a dividing wall in the retaining sleeve to prevent axial movement of the mounting bracket and absorber members relative to the control relay. | |
