[W126 Coupe] Suspect OVP relay

[Vance Rowley]

Thanks for that Dan. Now I can see where each pin# is connected to, I can understand how I can get all the symptoms I am getting all at the same time. It also makes me wonder how the car will start at all with one of the feeds going to the fuel computer. It must be getting an alternative feed from somewhere, perhaps at a lower voltage (might explain the rough running and hesitation) and when working, gets full voltage from the ovp. I also wonder why it was designed this way. Why not just have a good voltage regulator?

 Anyway, before I go ranting on, I have ordered a replacement and should be here by Tuesday. I will post an update after I receive it.

Thanks again,

Vance.
