Durable Time Relay

Cold weather starting trouble, or a machine's electrical system that won't shut off when it should, usually points to a failing time relay. If you are experiencing cold start issues or starter grinding, replacing your faulty unit with a high-performance, durable time relay is the quickest way to restore precise timing control and stable switching performance under demanding environmental conditions.

Signs Your Time Relay Has Failed

  • Cold start issues. The engine won't start in cold weather because the glow plugs aren't staying on long enough — or aren't turning on at all.
  • Burned-out glow plugs. If the relay gets stuck in the 'on' position, it keeps feeding power to the glow plugs. They burn out fast.
  • Starter grinding. A failed safety delay relay might let the starter engage while the engine is already running. That can cause serious gear damage.
  • No click, no delay. Turn the key to preheat and hear nothing? The relay coil or internal timer circuit is probably dead.
