I was inside on the computer... my mom comes in and tells my my car is ticking .... so im like wtf the car hasn't been running for hours.... keys aren't in it...??? anyhow i go outside and sure enough 30ft from the car you can hear the SOB ticking...

search around and i find this as the culprit... its an underdash relay of somesorts???
can anyone tell me what it is??

by the pins on it it says coil by 2 of them N.O by another... and Com by the last one

the outside says...
H270
DC12V20A
NO
IMASEN
OC_19

in that order
anyhow tho it was ticking so damn loud.... and the battery was completely dead. i could feel it ticking that bad. wtf

heres some pics.

Well its just a rely. Replace it and see if it still does it. Also do you have a better description of where it came from? pic or anything would help i.d. it.

[FE3-323]

well i looked into my FSM and narrowed it down to 2 things.... either my TSN relay (wtf is that) or my headlight relay..... can anyone tell me what a TSN relay is

[92_2_fast]

I believe its a turn signal relay. Turn in your lights and your turn signals and see which one doesn't work, but make sure there is enough power in the batt. to run them.

[92_2_fast]

All you should need to do though is replace the relay. No worries though it shouldn't be a big deal.

i can't get a picture as the internal flash is broke on my digi... not to mention the ****ty quality pictures

[FE3-323]

well first to charge the battery...
try tommorow during the day...
then go to JY and get a new one.

screw the j/y those a freakin cheap new!!! But if you do go to the j/y see if they have a manual steering rack. I have been looking for one

[FE3-323]

it may be cheap but i gotta know which it is first *tommorow* and secondly where would i buy one at?

oh... as for a manual rack.... i don't reccomend it honestly... i say go and get a power steering rack and seal off the entrances... get one from the mx3... supposedly it has a better lock to lock and trun ratio???
i'll keep a look out tho

[92_2_fast]

You could get one at any parts place. Take the old one with you though to make sure it is the same one. And Ive never heard of sealing off a power rack. That just seems like it would blow up or not be able to turn. Do you know of anyone who has done this?

the TNS relay is for the parking lights/tail lights.... if your relay is clicking, then I doubt its a relay problem... some weird **** is shorting out (possibly the turn signal/light stalk) causing the relay to go on/off

ryan- i talked to my teacher today, and this about what he said, so i agree with TheMAN, i dont think its the relay.

[FE3-323]

well the lights were accidently left on... come to find that out.... could that cause it to short out? or tick like crazy? trying to hold current flowing through?

[mike_moss]

...maybe the hazard lights left on?

[FE3-323]

put **** back together today.... not a problem....
it was the headlight relay....wtf..... must have come from leaving the headlights on...
either way i picked up a spare relay today WOOT!!!

yeah low voltage makes things do wierd ####.
