Default Relays

N.C.
There should be a constant 12v to the relay, that is the way relays work "they use a smaller wire to actuate the connection of a larger wire in most case's, and 1 wire going to the relay will be hot all the time" is this a 5 terminal relay? are you sure it power's the hazard, I have three relays on my Cobra, thats not counting the main starter relay "the big one that goes to the starter" the three relays i have = 1 controls the electric fans on the radiator 2 = its kind of a pre-relay to the starter relay 3 = controls headlights. So far only one has gone bad and it stuck in the open position and wouldn't you know it "the radiator fans relay" without those it over heated at backed up light signals. On a relay 2 of the terminals are what power the device (hot in) and (hot out to device) the relay connects these wires, 2 other terminals are what actuate the points in the relay, they could come from a toggle switch or in my case from a thermostat on the radiator.
