Mario,

I have used the same cheap automotive relays since 2001 without a problem. Maybe they have seen a long life because M2 did not failsafe that often but more importantly, the relays break under load rather than make under load. A more recent development was to delay the failsafe relay for a couple of seconds to allow time for the speedo failsafes to operate where possible.

No intention of starting a power on light debate, just coming back with a different view on that of Garys post.
