Jimbo Mahoney Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) EDIT - PROBLEM SOLVED USING FARNELL RELAY - SEE FURTHER DOWN THREAD. Recently purchased a 2004 zed with the usual sub cutting out problem. I've done the bodge fix of sticking a spacer to the top of the relay and also resoldered the pins just in case there was a dry joint. I've yet to test thoroughly, but does anyone know of an equivalent relay to replace it with? The thread here: http://m.my350z.com/...9697&styleid=70 Gives what seems like a good part code, but when I go buy it, mouser want £12 shipping for a £2.50 part because it's coming from the US! Had a quick look on maplin, but nothing similar I can see. Alternative would be to buy 12 of them and sell them on with an extra £1 to cover my costs. Any takers? :-) Edited May 17, 2014 by Jimbo Mahoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz 350z Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'd be interested in something like this.... I still have two 12's and an amp sat at home waiting to be put into the Z, but I hardly ever listen to the radio and so don't see the point of adding all that weight... What would be nice though, is that when i do listen to the radio, it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The closest I could fine for sale in the UK is from Farnell. http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/mccma51-s-dc12v-c/relay-spdt-12vdc-20a/dp/2008759 Basically the same, but this relay has a slightly lower coil resistance by around 40 ohms. Maybe worth trying it anyway? I don't suffer from the problem...yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find another £19 worth of stuff I needed sadly. Keep you posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techinstaller Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 as it happens i have all ready done this and bought the relays for under £2 a pop single's, i should be able to find the part number if any one wants it but will need to look in the workshop tomorrow ,i think i did have a spare or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techinstaller Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 If you want to replace the relay you can use panasonic JS1-12v-F relay .It is slightly larger than the relay fitted but if you look carefully at the pcb it is drill and marked for both sizes there is a white box on the pcb . please note the pcb is coated with a conformal coating that will need to be removed prior to soldering to allow a good connection useing this relay solved the problem . you will of course need a soldering station or at very least a good soldering iron 35w to 50w should do it you can source the relays for £2.70 with free post on ebay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Fantastic. Ive now cursed myself, seems the hot weather has caused mine to break. Past few weeks its turned off 3 times. Need to get one of those relays ordered now! haha. EDIT: You can also buy these from Ebay currently from this link. 3x the cost of the item on Farnel, but if you don't meet their minimum order price of #20, the eBay link is cheaper anyway. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/390813571045?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0 Edited May 21, 2014 by cs2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
