Hi Jim, Jonathan, others.
It goes without saying that the relay and harness need to be placed in a
water tight seal to prolong the life of the relay. I use this sticky
house trim wrap, aluminum to the outside and sticky mastic adhesive to
the inside. Let me know if you guys come up with something neater or
cleaner looking.
Regards,
Dick
