The extras can be sold easily on this forum, I purchased mine from Pizzaguy some years back.
I thought that was the case, however I've failed so
far to find a European supplier.

I'm still unable to locate a European supplier of these relays. Will spend some time today online again!

Hi All

I have now managed to source some of these relays in Europe!

I have successfully replaced mine and the Crossfire is running sweetly again!

If anyone in Europe has a similar issue I can supply a relay at cost as I have 10 in stock.

I could also do the repair for you if you cannot, again at cost, just PM me to arrange.

@Netwizz do you still have any of the RCM relays for grabs? or at least where you sourced them in Europe?

No. The RCM is the module farthest away from the battery with all the fuses on top.

Are you trolling us?

You managed to get the ECM out (which is no simple feat, that damn connector lock thingy was designed by some ******* German engineer with the goal of making AMericans look stupid) but you cant unplug the connectors from the damn RCM?

Ya gotta be kidding me.

na dude i feel like a toolbox myself. I told you im not good with wires. The other two modules look easier to me idk. Those wire plugs on top of the RCM just look fragile.
so anyway they just.... Pop off?
oh boy i think i see the hole for the pick now 😭

Hole for a PICK !!!!! ?????
Please don't. All you do is lift the RCM out, then unplug each connector one at a time by grasping the plug, NOT the wires.

Not a bad idea, really. I usually use a flat blade screwdriver to pry them up -as George said, just DO NOT yank by the wires.

I can't believe you managed to get the damn ECM out without asking for help. I HATE that bastard connector. You are obviously one who can handle the complicated stuff, but you overthink the simple stuff.
(I do like the pick idea....)

Shortspoon,
It doesn't look like Netwizz has been on the forum since March. You may be able to PM him to get a response. To check to see someones last activity you left click on their name and view their public profile. It will tell you in the upper left corner right under their name their last log on date.
