Run Without it?
Believe it or not there are some cases that I have confirmed of folks running their quads without this relay.It seems that a bad relay will cause trouble but removing it entirely quads run fine.Now dont go and do this since we need to figure out how this can be.I seem to remember being told running with a bad relay burns out a diode in wiring.I dont believe the timeout feature will work without relay either.

Final report:Solid state relay does not work.It is a power drain and never allows ECU to time out.Even with key off.I ended up going with Wistechs idea of a sealed socket with stock relay after one of the clips in stocker broke from corrosion.Seems like a great fix that should last.If it doesnt I will toss the relay and run without one.

27..
SS relays always leak voltage..the reason I never used one for mods, it would never let the computer turn off. Remember it is "resistor" based. that is the big race right now to design a SS that has no leak..but $$$ will be the factor
Bosch has some REALLY nice sealed ones like in the upgrade harness, and a company in Brazil makes one of the best sealed relay sockets I have ever seen, it even seals over the relay with a cover. you could put the whole thing in for @ $25..but you gotta buy a certain amount at a time..min.

I have an ??????????????????03 Cannibal, that ran without a relay for about a
year. I noticed after having winkey load a new ECU for me, that
the fan would never run with the engine off. Guess the relay must have jumped out of the socket and out from under the tyrap, and into someone??????????????????s pocket.
:eek:
