Most likley the won't work without changing > the resistance to match. I'm allraedy further down the road: I bought a heavy (40A rated) automotive relay that has a coil resistance of 84ohm. I've allready taken out the original relay and have put in wiring to connect the new relay to. The new relay is either going to be mounted to the RPM-housing or I'm going to put it next to the relay on the sheetmetal in the car. The only thing the coil is connected with is pin 15 giving it 12V after ignition and the collector of a BC338. The BC338 pulls the coil to ground (well allmost; you lose about 1,4V because of the transistor and a diode agains reversed polarity). I will make some pictures of my modification and put them on the web in the next couple of days. Thanks, Jan van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac... Living the Dream...
