Re: [DML] RPM Relay Question: Should it be hot to the touch after driving?

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It may well be the actual connector in the plug being loose and getting 
hot. I've seen a car break down because of this as it finally got so hot 
it melted the RPM relay. I replaced the crimp inside the plug, and the 
RPM relay - perfect.
