Why is this stuff a secret???

Where can I find data sheets or specifications for automotive parts such as 
relays and switches? (Amperage ratings of contacts, pin and internal 
component diagrams, duty rating of relays - continuous duty, etc.)

All the usual things provided by everybody else in the electrical world!

But this information is not anywhere on the internet and the only thing on 
the product packaging is a part number! No ratings are on the devices 
either! Just a part number...

Or is there an automotive parts manufacturer who provides this basic 
information on their web site?

Example of a relay data sheet from the non-automotive world...
