Title: relay getting hot
Post by: brentsydlik on May 30, 2011, 03:07:38 PM
there is a set of two relays on the passenger side inner fender near the hood hinge and i had the bird running earlier while i was messing with vaccum lines and such and i seen that there was a little bit of smoke coming off of the far back relay here and it was getting pretty hot so i shut her down... any one know what this is and why its overheating? I know someone will have an answer so thanks ahead of time.

the more rectangular skinny one is the horn relay, and the square one is intake manifold heater relay.

the two i have are the same but i pulled the one that was getting hot and it still runs so i have to just see what it was.
