I = figured that old age (original kit) plus X number of cycles during = construction took that relay to the end of its useful life. So trying to = kill two birds with one stone, I replaced both hi/lo relays with new = (chinese) from the local auto parts store. The cause of yesterday's gear failure turned out to be the NEW low side = relay, and it had just 14 cycles.... So, on the assumption that relay quality differs, who makes a HIGH = quality relay with the same footprint as those that came with the kit? Any reason why they should not be continuous duty = type?
