Re: Close to disaster
I would not assume that it was just a bad relay. I would follow what Dsraven suggested to the letter. I'd also make sure that the fuse was the correct amperage. I like relays but the trouble with them is that we don't always run the power feed to the relay through a fuse and the circuit ends up not being fused and the only thing that is fused is the wire from the switch that triggers the relay.
