Administrators hughezee Posted October 11, 2018 Author Administrators Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Few newbies contacted me directly again and been sending out relays over the last month or so and just had another message, so its time to resolder their old ones ready for others who need them. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted October 12, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Funny that, I was thinking about relays yesterday as I started the Coupe, listening for the destinctive clunk as it operates at ignition on point. I was wondering just how many relays go bad and how many owners then think the car is in for a big bill? Or worse still, call the scrappy,.? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That red one that was up for sale recently is a prime example, the thing is I fitted a relay to project shimmer thinking I had sorted that relay well I hadn't and thought it had to be a vacuum leak on the throttle as I did some cleaning of the IAC valve. Anyway, after about 20 minutes I stopped and approached the car as if I had never seen it before and traced the fault to what I thought was a good relay. Scratching my head I swapped the relay and bang she fired straight away, this took me about another hour of simply elimination... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resoldered the relay in my Volvo a couple of months back and for a while had the fuel pump prime with ignition again, then it started dropping out then gave me an FTP about 10 days ago. After going through everything else including the Radio Suppression Relay - a cunningly misnamed device that actually feeds the injectors and errr.............. fuel pump relay! - i discovered the fault lay in the fuel pump relay. Bottom line is, despite all the theory being against it happening, relay (and contactor) coils go weak with age, draw current but don't produce the magnetic field to pull the armatures in to make contact. Can be a real bi-atch when fault finding as sometimes they work and other times they don't! Annoyingly they often click as if working but aren't actually doing anything. Currently waiting for the postie to deliver a new relay............. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
