Electrical gremlins

[Wwildman]

Well my car has sat for 14 years and it runs great I cleaned all of the electrical connectors then applied dielectric grease. the car started randomly cutting off well I have checked it is the ignition relay. I pulled it out and apart it was full of water so I cleaned it with contact cleaner and it wroked for about 30 seconds . So I ordered a new one from courtesy parts. My big plan is with in the next 2-3 weeks I am going to replace all the relays. is ther any thing else I should be worried about ?

I'd be worried about how the ignition relay got full of water.

Do you store your car outside? It sounds like you have a leak around your windshield.

Anyway, I would expect that you'll hear back from Courtesy that the ignition relay is NLA. If that happens, send me a PM. I can make a replacement for you.

The windshield does leak because of a huge gap in the rubber. it is on the list .

Steve I will let you know if they say they do not have it.

What is needed to build one?

I use a dual relay socket, two SPDT relays, one ring lug and a 6 pin connector. The wiring diagram is on this site. You just have to search for it. If you're in a hurry to get the car going, I could have one in the mail to you tomorrow. I have all the parts.

Actually figured it out I did not have a 6 pin connector but used blade terminals and one ring terminal

Well built my own relay worked great. Drove car down to get something to eat after 30 min of sitting I went to leave and no start:mad:. I get the car home run every test in the FSM and bible. I am loosing signal from pickup when I have a hot soak.I ordered a new pick up and will let you know.
