starter relay

Hi all
My last question about a dead monster, turned out to be as Duncan (& Louigi) suggested - the starter relay, which was replaced, worked for about a fortnight and has now gone again! - anyone got any ideas what could cause this
or is it just a dodgy one .
Pete.

A less than healthy battery, starter motor or poor earth can put more load on the solenoid and fry the contacts. Even loose & dirty connections to the battery can have an effect, especially over winter.

I will check all those out before fitting the next one !
