Just to add to the fun…

The cylindrical alumunium relays from Brookhouse have bottomed out..
— this happens to BOTH relays, to add here..
(2 years old, tops)

When simply removing wired connections to check & refresh if needed.
Bottom / inner contents of relay fell/dropped out
Then
Black wire touched out on red.

Never seen this failure mode before; anyone else?

Was not a form pull on wire or connector, good firm contact but only need a reasonable downward “slide” to disconnect.

Obviously resulted in blown fuse 4
(I stupidly didn’t undo battery, figured the above scenario unfathomable?!)

Headlight Relay seemingly dead. (Front)
No stalk flasher visually nor audibly.

Rear light relay; fine. Save for bottomless issue..

Fuse 4 replaced, of course.

Indicators & all other light functions; A-OK.

No impressed with a £35 relay manufacture failure like the attached.

Anyone know of a good solid OEM-keeping relay?

Cheers
