1987 760t: My relay, labled "j" in the ECU, the one that somehow works with the power windows, always gets incredibly hot while i drive. i drive with the windows down (i have no ac (not until i fix it that is)) but it's not like i'm rolling and unrolling them for fun. so what does a hot relay mean?
thanks for the help,
trina

    I have a similar problem. Have not tried anything yet, as suspension is a priority right now. I'm hoping the gremlins do not change my priorities.


    Mike Ponte's Site is a good place to start. Also, conduct a search on this site using "window relay" (no quotes) and you will find a plethora of info.

    I have called around the Richmond, VA area and the local indy techs say the relays in Volvos are good for about 12 years. I hate to buy a relay as it is an unreturnable part.

    Hope this helps.
