Same question on a secondary air pump? Anyone on the forum have an extra one that I could buy?
Thanks in advance!
Just to be clear, if the relay for the air pump in the RCM is 'welded' shut due to excessive current 'tack' welding the contacts closed that relay has to be replaced as a minimum. The suggestion that DG repair your RCM is the least expensive option and those who have had theirs done are happy with the results. Others have purchased a new RCM and sent DJ the old one to overhaul as a spare (I like that option, a spare). Just an FYI for the air pump running after shutting off the car (since the relay is not 'releasing').
