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 |

I will be using rosin core solder for electronics. It won't continue to corrode after use, however, after working on PC board repair in the shipyard, I learned it is always good to clean all soldered areas well before use.
THE KEY to successful soldering is cleanliness! Isopropyl alcohol is a very good cleaning prep for soldering when used with a small stiff bristle brush. Sometimes I have used a pencil eraser to clean difficult areas, then alcohol wash before soldering. If you are working with extremely sensitive electronics, then a cycled bath with certain chemicals would be necessary to ensure no " sneak circuits "have formed. This would be followed by warm air drying for several hours. Then testing. I don't think we would have to go to those lengths for the relay boards. Tom |
