contact capacity on that is 10A. I'm thinking there had to have been a wiring fail that connected the + straight up to the -.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220818836324&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1852wt_972 This should be the correct relay link...
I'm not sure what the load is from the motor...I can't find any specs. Another person mentioned the motors draw 2 to 3 amps.
you sure the coil of that relay is 24V? on the ebay page it says the contacts are rated for 10A @ 24V, but everything i see on that page says 12V coil.
