[DML] Re: Door Lock Relays

["bkp944" <bk_pollard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Johnny,

The relays are 12V and the coil resistance is 85 ohms nominal. I 
doubt the relays you sourced would work.

By the way, I recently rebuilt my lock module, mostly following the 
instructions on how to rebuild the lock module in the technical 
section of DMCNEWS.com. 

I would not put those underrated relays back in the lock module. I 
used 40A standard automotive relays and mounted them in the relay 
compartment. The new relays are controlled by the lock module.

It is very important you check the condition of your door lock 
solenoids. I have some pictures I can direct you to of burnt 
solenoids - the direct result of sticky relays in the lock module. 
You may need to rewind your solenoids also.

Let me know if you want more details.
