Now I have read a number of posts on the relay's clicking and not responding intermittently. I have that problem, but I can get them to work, by moving them around and shifting there position. It will work until it moves again. Sometimes when I move them It will just start smoothly and other times it will give a "shorting" sound "pop".

There is a place where it seems they should be screwed down to, but A) only one of the relays have a lip for that, and 2) if I do that they will not work at all.

This is what is installed for the relays:
*SIEMENS VF4-a5F21-211 586224
* BOSCH 0332 204 150
12V 20/30A

Seems a little Jerry rigged?

Have other problems with the motor from this first time out, but I will make other posts since problems are different.

Thanks as always...

******* Helps if the ground wire is connected. Fixed!:rolleyes:*********
