4x4 Action Group

Ive had a relay problem on my
defender and various aspects discussed
on our whatsapp group are included here :

First shots shows main feed wire from
battery and a connector plate that has
been hot / corroded ... also blown fuse

A temporary solution adapted an exotic
fuse to fit the fuse box to get home ...

Here is the male relay type in question

... and the female base that seems to
refect the problem ...

A local sparky supplied me with some
suitable female connector spades and
matching insulation sleeves which I will use
... pending acquiring the correct
5-pin female-base...

indicating affected parts are

Hi has the problem been resolved and all sorted

No ... I cant say problem is solved...

... seems the rearmost relay, R1 , is being overworked ... though I have put in a new one, it will, I think, overheat and blow main
fuse F1 again - unless I find the root cause.

Suspects :
possible glowplug/s shorting
possible bad earthing
fuel pump on/off
some other intermittant shorting

... will be checking through these etc. over the weekend...
