Looking to get a used relay board for some testing and repair/renovation. Any reason that any one would work on any car?
I have been thinking that a good place for the hot-no start syndrome is the rivited contacts to trace connections in the relay board. Maybe a good cleaning and then soldering these higher current contacts would make the relay board better.? I think I have read on here that they are all the same, but I'm not sure. What do you think or know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Thanks, Tom |

Clean the bottom of the board very well, removing all the gunk. Then use a dremmel tool with wire brush or burr tool to thoroughly clean both the copper trace and the connection that goes to the top. Then, it will solder very easily. Has to be shiny for the solder to stick. Finally, apply a coating to protect the traces again. You can buy commercial potting compount, I think 3M sells this among others. I have read that other people use Silicon seal or other stuff. JoeO
