About 3 mos ago, the high side relay failed while 4ZQ was up on jacks. I figured that old age (original kit) plus X number of cycles during construction took that relay to the end of its useful life. So trying to kill two birds with one stone, I replaced both hi/lo relays with new (chinese) from the local auto parts store.
The cause of yesterday's gear failure turned out to be the NEW low side relay, and it had just 14 cycles....
So, on the assumption that relay quality differs, who makes a HIGH quality relay with the same footprint as those that
came with the kit? Any reason why they should not be continuous duty type?
