Hi John,
What are you using the relay switches for? I am only using one for the =
ignition because I don't want to draw too much current through the fuse =
block in the headlight. I guess I should use one for the headlight as =
well but so far I haven't had a problem.
I haven't had a problem with my ignition relay switch but I always keep =
a spare. For three bucks it doesn't cost much to replace one and I think =
it is far cheaper and easier to replace it then a melted fuse block.=20
I might suggest that the problem may be something other than the =
relay.....not sure what though. Another thought is to use a higher rated =
relay...I use a 30amp one.
One last suggestion. As preventative maintenance you might chage them =
every year.
Good luck and let us know what you learn......Ian
