Are you going to replace your muffler, rings, bearings, IP, ETC? I heard that if you replace all these parts and others every 2 years, it keeps them in top shape. But it also costs a lot of money for a very small return on investment.

Why should GP be any different? If the engine starts easily, the GP are doing their job and don't need to be replaced. Throw the new spares in the glove box so you will have a spare if one ever burns out.

The wire was charred black all the way from the plug to within 1/2 inch of the relay plug. I connected a new wire to the 1/2 inch remaining at the plug. After that, the yellow light on the dash worked again (wasn't lighting up previously).
