I SUSPECT I HAVE A BAD RELAY. IS THERE ANY WAY TO REPAIR THE ONE THAT I HAVE, I SEE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE SPEDO IN THE BOOK.

It could be that, but be sure to check on other things as well.
Check the wiring from end to end, there may be a fray somewhere causing a short every now and then.
My first thought is to check the battery connections, a loose ground would cause intermittent problems too.
Good luck! and let us know what you find. :)

Unsure of repairing the unit, perhaps some the others with more technical expertise will be able to help...

Mine used to stop working when I applied the brakes. The battery didn't have enough juice to support the signals and brake light when the engine slowed down. I got a new battery and that fixed my problem.

Thanks all for the responses. I cleaned the relay contacts and put in a new battery and it works good now.

He for sure could have put a dio in it in that time :smile:

I give him credit for following up on a repair thread, most just disappear like a fart in the wind :coolcruise:
