[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 903517, member: 615"] The stationary contact appears more dirty than pitted. That contact gets a lot of help from the ignition switch. The headlights don't switch off until the ignition is switched off. The relay coil drops out a few milliseconds after the ignition is switched off. The ignition switch takes a beating. It breaks a large current and it does it relatively slowly -- hand speed slow. Don't know the continuous amp rating of that relay? The circuit includes a 25 amp fuse. The two headlights would appear to be a 10 or 11 amp load. There may be a surge current when the cold lamps are first switched on. [/QUOTE]
