Hey Bob! Easy fix! Mine has been working A-OK since I did that a few months ago. $4.00 fix! Only thing I didn't like was the mailman trying to shove the 10lb Mouser electronics catalog into my mailbox two weeks later. I think the catalog cost a lot more than the parts and they sent two! :D

Have any of you guys ever heard of an LCM that could NOT be repaired??? :confused:

[RacerX]

I just recently removed and then soldered in the new relays on a customer's Volvo LCM recently. And we're a Computer store! :D I do the board level work here so we see all kinds of stuff. (Charged him $59.95/took ten mins!)

yeah there was a guy around recently that managed to rip the entire upper connector right off the board....i woulsn't try to repair that one unless I was in Saudia Arabia or something...

did you run the wires thru the air vents on the side? The relay socket I got had such heavy gauge wires on the load side that i actually had to dremel some vents out.

I run my wires out the hole in the side/end nearest the connectors.

[bob6364]

I was looking at that hole wondering what it was there for...now I know...maybe next time...

[Ktorres1]

Lmao I juss took my out and shipped it to fastblackmerc today for a heayduty setup!

Wasn't it just a JOY getting the upper connector off and then wrangling that thing out of there...
of course i'm a man of "some width" so I don't fit under dashes to well hehehehe

Once you do it a couple of dozen times it gets easier.

Thanks for the pic. Brings to mine something i've always wondered. What is that white tube for? Does'nt seem tobe connected to anything there or in the engine bay.

[skyhigh]

:D No air chisel?
I replaced them with standard replacement relays. I have extras and figured they'll last a few years. I can get some extra life outa them by leaving the headlights off at night anyway.

Its a secret goberment listening device.....;)

Seems odd at how many panthers have experienced this recently that I know of. Mine has been going for about a month. Got a spare from another MM at my friend's shop that ordered a fresh one. Using the one I got at the moment but it's taking harder hits to get the lights back on over the last couple days.

I got a 40A relay that looks like the one in your pic, I got it from radioshack, it does specify it's automotive, will that work if I use the right gauage wire? I need to fix this soon otherwise I'll have to leave the office before the sun goes down.

I would just leave the office early...you have the perfect excuse :banana2::banana2:

I figure the board can only take so many hits from my acetylene torch before I can't get no more OEM relays in there....:rolleyes:
