AT TIMES MY DASHLITE ARROW USED TO GLOW SLIGHTLY-FROM BRICKBAORD INFO I PULLED AND CHECKED THE RELAY-FOUND NO BROKEN SOLDER CONNECTIONS, CHANGED OUT FOR A USED ONE IN MY ACCUMULATION--BASICALLY LIVED W/ THE OCCASIONAL PROBLEM.
RECENTLY THE USED ON STARTED GIVING A NEAR-FULL-TIME ARROW. PULLED AND FOUND TWO BROKEN SOLDER JOINTS, RE-SOLDERED THEM. LITE STAYED OUT/OFF.
HOWEVER I 'NOTICED' HOW HOT THE RELAY GETS! CAN'T HOLD IT IF THE WHITE PLASTIC COVER IS OFF! MY ELECTICAL EDUCATION GAVE ME---HEAT IS A BY-PRODUCT OF HIGH AMPERAGE................ALSO NOTICED IF THE RELAY IS 'HOT' YOU CAN'T GET IT TO RE-LATCH--LITE GO ON/OFF-- USING THE SHIFTER-SIDE-BUTTON! SLIGHT MOVE THE CONTACT ARM AND THE CONTACT WILL RE-LATCH---ON THE 'BARE RELAY, THAT IS

ALMOST FORGOT 93---240'

ANYONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE b-4? CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE TO LQQK FOR A TOTAL FIX?

THANX RED RYDER

At times my dashlite arrow used to glow slightly-from brickbaord info I pulled and checked the relay-found no broken solder connections, changed out for a used one in my accumulation--basically lived w/ the occasional problem.
Recently the used on started giving a near-full-time arrow. Pulled and found two broken solder joints, re-soldered them. Lite stayed out/off.
However I 'noticed' how hot the relay gets! Can't hold it if the white plastic cover is off! My electical education gave me---heat is a by-product of high amperage................also noticed if the relay is 'hot' you can't get it to re-latch--lite go on/off-- using the shifter-side-button! Slight move the contact arm and the contact will re-latch---on the 'bare relay, that is

Almost forgot 93---240'

Anyone had this experience b-4? Can you tell me where to lqqk for a total fix?

Thanx red ryder
