And Things Were Going So Well.

[Rich in Vancouver]

Last week my FHC made it through the Pollution test first time through for the second year in a row. That was in spite of having to idle for half an hour waiting in line, and waiting for them to reboot the computer when it crashed following the git ahead of me with the souped up Dodge Dart. They actually ran him through the rolling road test 4 times before he admitted defeat! It's a darn good thing I had reinstalled the engine driven fan last week after relying on the electric fan for 2 years. My readings weren't even close to the limits. [:D]
To celebrate I gave the car a wash and wax and reinstalled the carpets that were removed following last winter's leaks.
And sure enough...the ungrateful thing refused to start-Bugger!
An hour of troubleshooting finally led me to the starter relay. I tried a Bosch relay that I had in my toolbox but with that relay the started just kept running when the key was released.
I opened up the original relay and found a wite off one of the blades.
A spot of solder and it was back in action.
I sure am glad I do my own work. That little PITA would have set me back a couple of hundred dollars.

Cheers,
Rich
