My car stalled tonight, whilst driving/cruising at about 70km/h. I pulled over, and made a call for help. I was advised as it may have been my main relay.
I let the car cool down for a bit and the car restarted, but quickly stalled. I tried turning it over a few times and it would not start. I had to resort to stopping/stalling, sitting and waiting, and then trying to drive the car, and again, and again, and well, you get my point.
I got home finally, and quickly looked up a couple of things. I came across this...

and followed it. I opened the relay and found that all soldered contacts were fine, but i decided to solder extra solder into each contact just in case.
Once the relay was installed again, the car start fine.
My question is whether that really does fix the problem - seeing as all my contacts were fine. Could it be something else? Does the relay simply *overheat* and shut itself off?
Is it a symptom of a dying relay when it over heats? Perhaps calling out for a new one.
That basically described what happened, so assuming it IS the relay, is it as simple as buying a new relay? or will my novice soldering attempts have fixed the problem?Quote:
