I did find this relay on eBay: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/163857213519 Please check the pinouts and unfortunately I don't speak French but it *might* be the right part
I think this is certainly the right part. It has a matching part number. HR-AMR-Y/012 Z1
HR-AMR-Y means it's an Automotive Relay. Although 'Fitre' made the faulty one there's no reason to replace it with another 'Fitre', any part matching the specification should do.
012 means it has a 12V coil
Z defines the pins, internal switch arrangement, current capacity and the 'must operate' and 'must release' voltages.
1 means the relay is fully sealed rather than being open or having a removable dust-cover.
The codes that matter when ordering an equivalent automotive relay are 012 and Z, and the French site ticks all the boxes.
Decoding part numbers is hit and miss. Many manufacturers use private codes making it difficult to identify entirely bog-standard components. Published identifiers can be hard to track down and it doesn't help the generic identities come in national flavours, usually for historic reasons. But in this case I think it's clear – the French relay is compatible, fingers crossed!
