The car has quite a few parts that are powered by electricity. For example, think of the starter motor, the windscreen wipers, the electric fuel pump and the lighting. In order to supply all of these components with the right amount of power, much thicker cables would have to be installed in the car. However, there is no room in the small spaces of the car to lay all these thick cables. That is why relays are often used in cars. Relays ensure that a small control current is turned into a main current. This means that much less thick power wires need to be used in smaller spaces. When a particular component's relay is faulty, it will not be able to supply the correct amount of current. This means that the part will no longer function (properly).
Check car relay
When an electrically controlled component no longer functions properly, it is important to check the relays. The relay is easy to check. Switch the relevant part, for example the windshield wipers or the lighting, on or off and listen if the relay makes a clicking sound. A properly functioning relay should emit a clicking sound when switching on or off. If you don't hear the relay turn on, it's time to replace it.
Connecting car relay
Has a relay on the car failed? Then it is important to replace it so that the connected part can function properly again. Replacing the switching device requires some technical knowledge. Do you not have much knowledge of electronics and therefore leave the job to a garage? Then make sure that you purchase the part at a low price from Winparts. This often saves you a lot of costs at the garage.
