Thread: Lots of electrical issues

Not from me. That kind of linking is fine. Thank you sir.

I just went back out to the car and I think I have it narrowed down. The D.I.C. and the Heated Seat is working now, but if I try to turn on the heater, even to position 1, the D.I.C. just goes blank and I bet heated seat would quit working too.

Let me ask this. If I put that relay in place and at some point down the road replace my ignition switch. Can this relay stay in place? Can you give me some details on what this does (just trying to understand for my own edification)? Im assuming that it bypasses the accessory circuit until the car is started?

Lastly, do you mind if this is added to our How To section?

Yes, the relay can stay put. What it does, is uses the stock contacts to drive the low-current coil. The contacts in the relay then take over the responsibility of carrying the high current that the ignition contacts used to. IF it ever fails, you can change it out in 45 seconds, rather than replace the ignition switch again.

Yeah, go ahead and add it to the How to's...
