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.

Re: Relay Replacement In RCM

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.

Re: Relay Replacement In RCM

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.

Re: Relay Replacement In RCM

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.

Re: Relay Replacement In RCM

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.
