Re: How To Do the Bosch Relay Mod???

Trevor, if you carefully analyze the mod circuit, you will see that the primary circuit of the relay has a ground that is a part of the new circuit. The contact circuit is not related to ground.

Would it alleviate your concern to observe that the "fault" you refer to is not a part in any way to the mod Bosch circuit.

Neither of us actually know where the "fault" is so proof, a 2 way street, would be a tough one for either of us. I no longer care where the fault lies because the Bosch relay works like a dream... not the nightmare so many of us were and many more are having before the Bosch Relay!

When you get the click yourself , you will, as most of us do, routinely check the starter and and all the things I tested before the Bosch relay circuit was worked out. Then about 60 seconds later, you will be headed for the nearest auto parts supplier to get yourself your very own Bosch relay!!!

Cheers back!
