i accidentaly shorted out my main relay, i took off the cover along time ago so the board is out in the open. As i was tucking the relay away i heard a snap noise and the car shut off my question is, is there some kinda temperary fix? i remember reading somewhere saying something like you can "bypass" the relay and wire up a constant power wire to the fuel pump wire

 

well its fried and I wouldnt trust some ------ rigged stuff and doubt it works get a replacement relay. Jeez doin eletrical work with the battery hooked up good one

 

well i wasent technically working on anything, it was starting to fall out of place so i had to tuck it back up there because little things like that bother me. I guess thats what i get for taking off the PROTECTIVE cover

 

Okay so the bad move wasn't the battery, it was the no cover on the electrical components.

 

is the dealer that ONLY place you can get a new main relay? went thu 3-4 junkyard one's so its time to get a new one.

 

if you need it right away then the dealership is the only way

 

I doubt the part stores will carry them. There only around a 100 bucks and worth it my book

 

did you make sure you didn't just blow a fuse?

 

I would agree with that. I don't even think they are $100 when I was looking at one for mine.

 

Somethin about breakin down every week just doesnt sound like a great plan to save money
