Hi Guys
What is the concensus of opinion on the Current Control Relay?
Are replacements available? Can they be restored? Is it easier/more reliable/safer to just fit a set of fuses?
The one on my car is obviously faulty as someone has fitted an inline fuse acoss it!
Any thoughts greatfully received
Jules

Jules,
Do you mean the cut-out...(the little box on top of the generator)?

hi Mark,
no the Under Dash Relay which, if I understand correctly, responds to excess Current drain (such as a short in a particular circuit)

Jules,
Well, I looked it up in my Specifications. & Adjustments manual and found that you are probably asking about the current limit relay mounted under the dash. Basically it functions as a thermal overload (or breaker) only for the lighting circuits that will make a buzzing sound when the lighting circuit is becoming overloaded.
Replacing it with a simple fuse will work to protect your lighting circuits. But if you need a scan of the adjustment instructions, just send me a direct email. durcodude@comcast.net

Mark
I have a copy of Specifications & Adjustments thanks, I was really more interested in what one does if the relay is not working as it should? ie possibly replace it with some fuses?

Jules,
Yes, as I previously stated:
"Replacing it with a simple fuse will work to protect your lighting circuits."

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art. |
