Since swapping in an EBR ECU with comfort kit logic, I've had the key switch relay flake out on me a couple of times on very warm days. Typically, it will take a nap after the hot bike has sat for a bit (i.e.: refuelling). The first time it happened, I thought it was a fuel pump fuse, but the fuses were all fine. Pulled the relays to swap/reseat them, and ouch! The ignition relay was quite warm, but the key switch relay was scorching! I swapped in a fresh relay, but I imagine problems will reappear before long, for the relay still runs hot. I suspect that having the fan running so much pushes those tiny 20A relays over the edge. This is incentive to install a proper relayed headlight circuit, which will take 55 watts (4.5A) off that circuit. I might even put the fan on an independent relay, but we'll see. Has anyone else experienced relay problems after the new fan logic? (Message edited by dtaylor on June 27, 2013) |
