RE: [DML] Re: Door Lock Relays

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Johnny, I have the original relay that go on the lock module PC board along
with some newer harder contact ones. The are on the web site. You can always
relocate the relay's and use higher current one as long as the coil
resistance is close. I have also have some relays that are a small 75 amp.

I didn't even know he had those!  The ones on my module are not
stuck, but I know I should probably replace them anyway.  So much
for my "clever" surfing!  Ahh well, that's why I post before I jump.

I have the lock module tech notes printed out from dmcnews and plan
to follow them for the replacement parts on the circuit board.

One question about that, does that mean the module won't send stored
current to the solenoids and fry them after this fix?  Or is this
just one of those "do it because you can" mods?

I don't think my solenoids are shot just yet because they both
unlock from outside the passenger door.  At least I'm hoping they're
not.  If they are, I'm definately going to get the actuators simply
because of cost.  The module itself doesn't smell burned either.

Funny after looking at the back of this circuit, it looks rather
amateur.
