relay getting hot
« 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.
