    Default Lkm

    Now is there there anyway of testing the relays in the LKM individually?
    I thought I fixed the bastard but its playing up again.
    Also resolded all the joints between pins 2 and 22 as per Javier's advice , still no go

    Cut a narrow strip of 320 grit or finer & drag it thru the points. Put a little pressure on the points while doing it:



    You can take a pair of tweezers & carefully bend the copper tab slightly to make sure the points close with more contact pressure.
