Re: Main Relay?

it still doesn't mean that your main relay does not have any dry joints which will cause intermittent problems. heat will cause the dry joints to expand and lose continuity within it's circuit.

Re: Main Relay?

Did you then put it back into yours and try to start it? If so, then yes, it does sound like your main relay is OK.

Sorry for the late reply. Troubleshooting a no-start issue with my car, too.
