Re: Relay Updates

Another "relay" to change is the door lock module. The origional unit 
WILL burn out and if the contacts fuse together you will be locked in 
the car and will be replacing the door lock solenoids as they will 
burn out from the constant current running through them until the 
battery goes dead. If you open the door lock module and look at the 
contacts you would laugh they are so small especially when you 
consider that they have to break a very reactive circuit ie: with the 
solenoids the circuit acts as if there is a lot of "inertia" so the 
contacts have to interrupt a very high current without "flashover" 
which is just another name for the current continuing to flow even 
after the contacts separate. It is this arcing which causes a high 
heat to eventualy weld the contacts together.
