• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The low down on replacing relay #2

Ok.. Mine is starting to act up. Found Napa part # MPE AR172SB. I see google hits all over the place...

However....

This is a 14V 20 Amp
OEM is. 12V 30 Amp

????????????

I am reading of 1000's of miles on these.. But the extra amps must be there for a reason.

What gives?
 
Wish Teddy had an answer for ya, but the lil guy is snore'n away right now

And I don't have a clue about the difference &/or why:dontknow: Hopefully, one of the Spyder gurus will pick up on this & enlighten us all with their wisdom :bowdown:
 
Must be 30 AMP for a reason,I would replace it with the same amperage .How do you know #2 relay is acting up.:dontknow:
 
I know relay 2 acting up because when I start it, it will click and appear almost like a low amperage start. When it clicks the display resets. I try it again and it starts perfectly. It's random/Intermittent behavior had me considering ground faults but I checked everything. No error codes and BUDS has nothing on file. Searched this site and google and had multiple hits, all citing premature failure of #2 relay. Owner would "swap" relays on side of road and discover problem was gone. These owners then bought relay at Napa, Autozone, and website for a reduced cost
 
Ok. Autozone has them under part number #19271. Shows as a power window relay. I found a few more entries I must have overlooked from our "super senior members" who bought a few extras in 2008. Price is 13.99

Just wondering have you checked the battery cables at the battery to make sure there not lose,
Especially the Neg cable. ??
 
I did thanks.... So far I have started it about ten times (purposely throughout day). No hiccups. I think researching this site paid off... It was annoying :)
