BULLSH** POLARIS (ELECTRIC RELAYS IN HARNESS GO BAD FROM WATER INTRUSION)

I ordered from Waytek tonight. I'll let you know when they come. Mouser is 2 months out it still looks like
Are the actual relays or the unplated tarnished brass connectors the Real Problem?
Question; Are the relays actually failing or is it the tarnishing ( this oxidation is non-conductive) of the brass (non-plated) connectors on the wiring harness actually causing the issue?
If it is just the Brass connectors Tarnishing then It would be way easy to disassemble the offending connectors and crimp on the correct Tin Plated Brass (or better) connectors in there place. Also if done properly there would be no warranty recourse should something go south. Most Service Department Techs. would not even notice the difference. The sleds owner will notice because there would be no need to clean them weekly as the Tarnishing would never be a problem again. FWIW

Prompt shipping from Waytek. Got 'em today
As a side note, it certainly wasn't cheap from Waytek, but cheap enough. By the time shipping & there small order fee was added on it ended being about $5.85 per relay

Terminals and connectors has these in stock as well. 1.64 a piece and decent shipping options. Hopefully they show up quick.

I ordered 10 from this site today, says they will ship tomorrow...

Again I would bet the relays are not the actual problem
By swapping relays you are just reestablishing the electrical connection by scraping away the Tarnish on the unplated connectors on the wiring harness at the connecting point. I would bet you can plug the "failed" relay in the electric start location or whatever and it will continue to function as intended.
I could be wrong, but most likely I'm not. We see this stuff everyday in the marine industry where the boat builder or other party used the cheapest electrical components and the tarnished brass blocks any electrical connection from getting to where it is supposed to go. Again FWIW

which relay powers the PIDD unit?
P
Found this at napa. Not sure if it's right one tho.
Depends on the resistor across the coil on it... and if it is sealed or not.
The case-format is correct though.

The computer and book at napa didn't say the ohms of the resistor, everything looks good like you said.
Does it have a resistor, or a diode...or no resistor??... that format of relay comes all three ways in the Automotive world... plus un-sealed, sealed and Flux-tight.

What was the NAPA part number?

Here's pic
No telling if it is a diode or resistor on the AR606.
At $12 each for the NAPA AR606 ... you could still order a few of the oem ones for the same price from the sources above and have an apples/apples exchange.

Exhaust temp sensor voltage to high code
Yes I ended up ordering 6 from wayatek. Not knowing for sure on the NAPA one I did not go with it.

MH NOTE: I moved the second topic of this post, Has anyone seen the code SPN 173 FM 3 exhaust temp sensor voltage too high? to its own thread to keep this thread on track... and that is a great topic for it's own thread.

Ordered 10 from the site in tdorval's post. Standard shipping took about a week from Ohio to Washington.
at $1.64 each.... BARGAIN !!

Shipping was $6.00 though, lol. Hard to complain.
