RE: [Chrysler300] Horn relay

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I would think there would have to be some special extra fuel injection when
cranking to prime the cylinders--sort of like an accelerator pump in a
carbureted engine.  Perhaps the relay operates a fuel pump while cranking.

The fuel injected turbo 2.2 in my 1986 Chrysler T&C convertible is a hard
starter and seems to be without fuel until after a few seconds of cranking.
It works just fine after that, so I'm thinking the priming may be
inadequate.  My 2005 fuel injected Dodge Durango hemi starts easily while my
fuel injected 4.0 L 1999 Jeep Wrangler takes a few more turns to fire.  I
have heard the term "cold start" used to describe the priming feature.
Measurable progress.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber

Pete,
     The relay was advertised on eBay as a horn relay for a '59-'60
Chrysler.  When it arrived I tried to check the part number out.  It appears
to be in its original box although I had the same thought; however, when I
compared it to the horn relays on my E and F, it is completely different.
Maybe I should start looking for a fuel-injected engine!
Al

Al - you have a horn relay on your fuel pump???? That IS rare. Now, the
question is whether the number on the box matches what was in it. It would
seem not.

Hi Al,
The number wasn't in the 55-58 reprint, but I found it in the BIG old
hard back parts book. It says it is a Fuel Pump starter relay for a 1958
(only) Fury, D500, Adventurer or 300 with fuel injection. No wonder you
couldn't find the number! Not many can use it.
