Always keep a spare relay in the glove box! It's a cheap safety item like fuses, flares, and jumper cables.

Thanks.

Looks to me however that the issues reported are tied to the 993 DME unit which had an engineering compatibility issue - not a hardware failure.

I've not found anything here on the Pelican site that references any solid state DME failures.

I had a solid state relay failure on my 86 a few weeks ago.
Car died all of a sudden on my way home from the mountains. Car wouldn’t turn over at all. Luckily I had a spare oem relay in the glovebox. Pulled the seat back and put the oem in and the car fired right up.
