Any typical syptoms of the Salmon Relays failing

Post by Digidick » Thu Apr 20, 2023 3:53 pm

Daughter just messaged me to say her roof is going up and down a bit funny (thats the best I can get from her) and I'm not able to see the car for a few days but I do know the relays are the original 2009 ones, the car battery is good (helped fix another issue a while back).

Anything a failing relay can show itself as?

Bit of an open question I know, sorry.

Ignore it’s sorted. She had something move in the boot and foul the area where the roof folds so once cleared it works fine.

Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

I’d ordered some before we discovered the issue so I’ll keep them ordered and fit em!
