So I just replaced my damn starter-enable relay (aka anti-theft relay) which cost me $8. I turned the key, and it fired right up. I turned the car off, then tried to turn it on again a few minutes later (after I put everything back together!) and it didn't work. So I think I'm killing relays. What would be causing this? Why the hell won't anything go my way lately? Is this what Hell is like?

 

Token, Token, Token.......T'warent for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. I just saw your other post about the hood also. PM me with what you did when you put the starter enable relay in, okay. BTW, you don't happen to have a p*ssed off ex-girlfriend who works as a VOODOO priestess on the side do you.J/K

 

It's gotta be karma- I just yelled at my ex girlfriend last night...

I'll post what I did publicly, just in case anyone else knows... I took the old relay out (that relay-holder is a bxtch) and took the cover off it to see how it worked; standard relay. I was trying to see if I could find anything wrong with it physically by looking at it, but I didnt see anything. I put the new relay in exactly the way the old one was (theres only one possible way). I turned the key with the interior pieces dangling, and it fired right up. I put everything back together and it didn't want to work again. I do not think there is a short in any wire, because I tried wiggling things to no avail.

For now, I continue to hotwire my car... at least I made it more civilized; there is a toggle switch on it hahaha

:lala:

 

There's nothing like a woman scorned, EH! Token. Go to this link, I loaded some schematics and troubleshooting info there earlier. D*MN man, you gotta quite ticking these women off.

Good luck and stay out of trouble. Hope you have better luck with the finals than you're having with the car.

 

I'll get to the bottom of it. I wonder if I just bought a crappy relay...

Does Murrays take returns at different stores, or only the particular one I purchased the relay at?

 

I don't have a Murray's here, but if it is another murray store they should honor it as long as you still have the receipt. The various parts stores I deal with here do.
