Problem With Relays

[Lee_uk_19]

i'm having a few problems with the relays the other day i noticed a few clicks here and there when i wasnt really doing anything to make them click, the the other day while driving to work it made a horrible clicking noise it was just a rappid clickin for a few seconds doing it every now and then its the gray relay in the middle that it seems to be coming from.

Then this afternoon i noticed the clock had jumped forward two hours but the clock on the radio hadnt which is odd!

If had a look in the haynes book but looking at the wiring diagrams is pointless unless u have a degree in electrical engineering!

Anyone else had these problems

Yeah, i have that on my VTR...

Thought it was normal tbh... But it isn't that noticable when driving to me

M,y relay goes mad occasionally then slowely gets better and stops. Happened in all 4 saxos ive had. Another common saxo fault!

so its nothing to worry about then, so i wont wake up in the moring to find a pile of ash were my car used to be because it decided to short out!? , coz that would pevv me right of no end!

[DarylVTR]

haha no. It will stop sooner or later.... does it just keep clicking randomly? rlly fast then slow and stop etc?

It wont catch fire...... if it was mine would have done so because my luck with cars suck lol

well it does it every now and then, just when it decides to, i get a few clicks here and there when i start the engine but i know these are from the imobiliser had the car over two months now and it just started, ive not messed with the electrics such as addin a amp and stuff like that! but i was gonna dunno if its a good idea now!

replace the relay mate, will probablies be sticking, flasher relay is what is needed :y:

you also checked the bulbs are all working, if one is out say the front then the rear one will start flashing quicker than normal
