Relay
« on: January 17, 2008, 09:21:01 AM »
Under my back seat there is what i believe to be a relay, and due to getting wet it is now fried. It is about 6 inches fro0m the voltage regulator, but im curious is that a specific kind of relay or can i pick something up at any electronics place?

Thanks

Most likely the relay for the rear defogger, any relay will do as long as it can handle a few amps.

Yup, that relay gets power directly from the battery, issues inside it could create a drain, or wires on the wrong terminals, feel the back glass and see if it's warm when the cars parked.
