[QUOTE="Dan Long, post: 1024361, member: 65387"] I'd be very surprised if all 4 or 5 of the contacts for the relay were sloppy enough to let it just drop into place with no tension. It almost sounds as if there's no clips in that relay location. You should be able to shine a light into the slots and see the metal tabs on each side that make the connections to the relay. Before spending any money check and see if they're even there. If you're comfortable with it, you can disconnect your battery, remove the entire fuse/relay box from it's bracket and unclip the back plastic shell and look at the wiring where that relay should be to see if it's there or not. If it is, and the contacts are indeed that sloppy, you should be able to release the wires one by one, crimp them back together and reinsert them. [/QUOTE]
