DOA Porsche Relay from Pelican, I think
I ordered a replacement Fuel Pump/DME relay for my 85.5NA
Car is running fine. Take out old, put in new. No Start. Starter turns, motor doesn't fire. Gave it a little bit longer, twice, to make sure. Put old (994-615-227) back in. Starts right up. New part(993-615-227). Is it bad? It is crazy keyed at the bottom, it can only go in one way, right? Anything else to try before contacting Pelican? It's raining out so I do not feel like checking if it can go in more than one way, anyone know for sure? =)

I don't know what that part number is on your "old" relay. But, the part number on the "new relay" is correct.
The contacts on the bottom of the relay are uniquely keyed. They can only go into the proper position on the fuse plate and can only be put in the proper direction. |

The part # was the same except it had 944 instead of 993. Even if you look on pelican, it shows it as replaced with new part.

I would say it is a bad relay. To make absolute sure you could jumper the pins as per clarks. If it runs jumpered than you know it's the relay. Kinda weird that a new one is doa but not unheard of.

Mistakes are made in electronics manufacture. It does occasionally happen. Contact Pelican and you will be shipped a new one. They will probably want the old one back to ship to Bosch.

This recently happened to a friend with a 951. Pelican exchanged it, free of charge.
99% work perfectly. Occasionally, a bad one slips through. I just bought a spare for my 944S. I am going to stick it in and make sure it's part of the 99%. |

Finally got the replacement relay in. Works fine. (Of course now I have seafoamed within a day of adding the relay (put it all in gas tank), so every now and then I am getting some stumbling and I assume that's the seafoam, NEVER had that before.
