Relay clicks from behind passenger side dash ??? Strange things happen !
Hi all, I've seen somewhere either on this or another forum some info about relay clicking from behind the dash on the passenger side (N/S) but cannot find it again !!! darn it, anyway I too have this problem now and it seems to cause lots of strange little gremlins. I also have a strange one in that I can drive the car for 5 -10 mins and it starts to miss at low rpm and will cut out if I let it... and more annoying than anything is it then refuses to start again until cooled down about 20 -30 mins.
Any one who has had this prob could maybe enlighten me to how to cure or where to start please reply or refer me to the article if poss. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have changed the crank position sensor today so will post at a later date to advise if this has cleared the warm start problem. Done by QAS auto's Bristol UK @ £118+vat part alone was £103inclusive from MB bristol so not worth getting hands dirty really was it.

Thanks, car been fine so far until today when it started to miss fire at low rpm once over 1000 seems ok, its as if its missing on about 2 cyl so still a gremlin in there somewhere, I will change the fuel press reg just in case that was the other item on my list of suspect bits but thanks for your reply. With regard to the relay clicking from behind the passenger side of the dash I think I do have a vac leak somewhere ?? as my heater now turns its self on as it wants to and not normally when I want it to....lol, I can be driving down the road and suddenly it clicks on to automatic... either its faulty or I have a ghost who like it warm.
