i just bought the uro one because i had some money left on a amazon gift card, i was going to then order a KAE one and stick the Uro one in the glove box as a back up..just figured it would last longer than 2 days

Hopefully you can still return it to Amazon and buy something useful.

Like my friends' latest album. At $9 it's going to last lots longer than the Uro relay.

Both Moises and Rocio are my friends, but I met them through their bass player. She loves to sing jazz and blues, but covers the bases with pretty much everything. If they do a gig and someone calls a C&W tune, she's classy enough to hide the "eye roll" too. Rocio's website is gethermusic.com; (this is a tunepak link with tracks from her last album) and there are other samples there. She is an amazing vocalist, speaks several languages (fluently) and does quite a bit of voiceover work. And she offers voice lessons.

I have no idea how she finds time to cut an album.


PS: Sorry to hijack your thread, but I was just trying to find a better use for your money than a Uro relay. And, by the way, the tunepak link above is complete tracks, not just samples. Some are originals, some are original twists on classics, like "Night and Day."

So the KAE relay came, installed it and it fired right up, I was thinking of checking the fuse box were it plugs in what should I look for, 12 volts at the socket were it plugs in any suggestions just trying to rule out something my car is doing or did I just get a bad part

URO = U Replace Often.

Although I've heard a rumor that MB themselves were going to URO to source some parts. This is an unsubstantiated allegedly true peice of information.

Electronic parts are generally reliable over many years however if the components are made from substandard materials then you are in for pot luck. The problem with relay units such as the OVP and fuel relays is that the soldering joints are becoming oxidised or separating because of the poor quality solder or original soldering technique.
