What problems will occur if the motorcycle relay is broken?
1 Answers
After the motorcycle relay is damaged, it will cause an open circuit in the starting circuit, preventing the starter from operating normally. It may also burn out the motor and drain the battery, rendering the motorcycle unusable. More details are as follows: 1. The relay used in motorcycles is designed to protect the switch contacts: It can also add some functions. If the relay is damaged, the corresponding functions will fail and become unusable. It is worth mentioning that motorcycles previously only had a starting relay, but with the continuous development of production technology, modern motorcycles increasingly use headlight relays, turn signal relays, horn relays, etc. 2. The relay is usually installed in the motorcycle's electric starting circuit: The relay consists of a coil, a movable iron core, and two terminals, connected in series with some coils and the motor in the motorcycle's starting circuit. 3. After the relay fails: The contacts of the electric start switch may become loose, with the main symptom being the inability to start normally. A faulty relay may also cause the gear switch to open circuit, preventing the motorcycle from moving normally after shifting gears. Since the iron core in the relay coil is connected to the two terminals, a damaged relay can easily damage other electrical devices in the starting circuit.
