Hi All,

I had a cross tie relay (it is the same unit as the master relay provided with the kit) go bad on the plane - what happened is it would click but not close the circuit .

The relay was mounted sideways for convenience with the connections; and, I don't know if the mounting position was a factor since the core is moving horizontally in this case. Since the cross tie is an emergency function only in the event one of the plane's two electrical systems dying - it certainly does not get the usage the master relay does.

Sometimes an electrical component will just plain die; but I am wondering if my choice of mounting position may be partly to blame.

Anyone have any experience with relays dying or experience with other than vertical mounting positions for them?

Thanks,
