Question

What causes automotive power supply relay "intermittent" operation?

Answer

Corroded contacts and thermal fatigue.

Explain

Intermittent relays cause inconsistent power supply. CHEPQ tools clean relay contacts and test for thermal expansion issues—replacing the relay with a high-temperature-rated model resolves intermittent operation.
