Got a 6V, 3 post Ford relay from ebay for my "74 2.0L Wired it up per the many threads on the subject on this and other boards.
My understanding of its operation is that 1 large post always has 12V (from battery) and the other 2 posts (small "S" and the other large one back to the starter) have 12V when the key is ON. Is this correct?? I'm not getting 12V at the large post that runs back to the starter. I'm thinking the Ford relay is defective. Any thoughts from Ford relay users?? Paul |

I connected 12V to the Ford relay "S" post (small post) directly from battery (confirmed by test light at post) and got NOTHING --- no clicking, nothing.
Defective relay right out of the box?? Paul |

Did that also --- NO continuity. Already have it boxed to send back to the seller. Anyone know what brand of this type relay is not China made? Or do I need to go to a Ford dealer? Paul |

Paul Try the Ford dealer in bejing. The Chinese only send Junk parts to other countries, and with impunity I might add. They sometimes get lucky and make good parts but those never leave the country.

LOL I am afraid that for the time being (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) . Not always, but so often I have opened a box to find a part not worth the box let alone shipping. Problem is most companies of any size are international. |
