A few weeks ago I noticed my passenger tail light and front corner light were out. I replaced the blown fuse and cleaned all the contacts. After about 5 minutes of having the lights on, the fuse would pop again. I went to the junk yard and picked up a tested and workingbulb out relay, installed it and viola! The problem seemed solved.

So I've had the new relay in for about a week with no problems. Coming home tonight I noticed the buld out light came on and got out to take a look. Sure enough, the lights were out again.

How does a new relay fix a problem temporarily?

My next (and very tedious) step is to check all of the wiring from the battery > relay > fuse > bulb. Or is it battery > fuse > relay > bulb? Anyway, I just wanted to consult the forum to see if anyone had any insight.

 

You should have the big round red one correct?
Open it up and check for bad solder joints.
Also check the wiring at the front parking light.

 

Okay, I'll check the front park light again.

But you think my problem is two bad relays?

Tech - If you read this, I've got another post up that I could use your advice on...

 

If it was a used relay I could say yes.
Those relays are used alot with the lighting system.

 

HELLO TECH............COULD I JUST RESOLDER EVERY CONTACT IN THE OLD RELAY OF MINE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?

 

You can try I have had pretty good luck doing that. Sometimes it doesn't work you have a 50/50 chance.
