How long before this palm whack on the trim panel below the steering wheel won't work at all? Or will it more or less work indefinitely even though it's not working as quickly as it once did?
It WILL stop working, you have two options and I would recommend taking one soon. Buy a new main relay or have your old one re-soldered. The main relay is a square box about 3" x 2 1/2", not like the pics above.
