Hello everyone,

I have a dilemma going on, the relay on the passenger side fender is clicking at random times. It will just start clicking days later when the car has been sitting in the garage. It's a 1995 240sx W/2JZ-GTE. the car is heavily modified but still has AC and everything works perfectly. This is driving me insane, please any help would be great. :cry: :cry: :cry:

PS: It's the relay across from the relay box on the passenger side.

Thanks everyone!

Troy

No, I do think that's the relay with the issue. I'm going to post a picture of it in a few minutes.

I cannot post any pictures because I am a new member of this forum. This relay killed my battery, when I went to start her up this morning the inevitable happened. Now I have a dead battery and still cant find out what the problem is.

What's the use in having a forum if we cant post any pictures to help find the problem?

Hey PapaSmurf the pic you posted was close to the one that's having the problem. It's actually 2 relays together. This is getting ridiculous, anyone have any other information on this issue please let me know.

Thanks guys!

I think I figured out the problem with the relay, my alarm system is hooked up to this relay so if I don't set the alarm it wont give me any trouble. Ill be taking the car to the shop who installed the alarm this week sometime. Ill keep you posted on the issue.

Thanks.


I have one question or two. Cant I just post a picture directly from my phone of picture file? Do I have to use photobucket?

You have to use some sort of photo hosting site, whether it be photobucket, flickr, etc.
