    EFI Main relay

    Well, i thought about putting this on the efi section but its technical anyway. So here is what i was baffling around. I got 4 efi main relays at my pocession and two of em dont work right as in they work once in a while. What can i do to make them work again in good condition? The solders on the pc board seem fine. Thanks guys.

    the solder only SEEMS to be fine.... check the How-to section (I'm too lazy to link ya)

    Just resolder every connection on the PC board. The cold solver breaks over time and leaves a hairline crack hardly visible to the unaware eye.

    They should work well again.

    yes, carotman is correct. Also i reccomend sucking the old solder off after heating it and then resoldering every joint on the board and make sure they arent cold joints
