Relay ?

Relay messing up ? Its wired into the neutral safety switch wiring. Its in between the thick yellow wire. It messed up once before and the car wouldn't start and I messed with the wires and it started. Would removing the relay and putting it back to factory be fine ?

Re: Relay ?

Something had messed up with their wiring I believe because yesterday the car wouldn't start. I swapped the good neutral safety switch in out of my other car and it still didn't start. So I replaced the relay and still no change. I ended up using a wire and connecting the yellow wires back together and it started. Do you think its fine to just wire it back the factory way ?

Re: Relay ?

Yes. At one time it was most likely a starter defeat for an alarm. Now it's just a headache waiting to happen.

Turned out it was a kill switch and I found what was controlling it
