Guest jules greenway Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi GuysWhat 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 receivedJules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Jules, Do you mean the cut-out...(the little box on top of the generator)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jules greenway Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 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)regardsJules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jules greenway Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 MarkI 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Jules, Yes, as I previously stated: "Replacing it with a simple fuse will work to protect your lighting circuits." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
