Actually that's why I suspected the toping up of the oil level since I did that
just the day before, I got lazy and only jacked up the left hand side of the
car so I probably over filled it by 1/2". The Relay is the 2nd oldest thing
as I replaced it 4-5 years ago....
Anybody know the amperage the relay should put out?
