Default Fried DME Relay

About a year ago, my car wouldn’t start. I put in my spare DME and it proceeded to start fine. I looked at the bad DME and it had a slight burn color at the terminals but I didn’t think much about it other than a bad DME. Tonight, my car didn’t start. I pulled the DME (pictured) which obviously experienced a very bad short. I replaced it with a new DME but the car will still not start. I have not pulled the fuse box apart but I assume the problem is now deeper underneath the fuse box or elsewhere. Anyone have any ideas where to start looking? Thanks in advance.

Default Still need help

It happened again today. My car wouldn't start until I put in another new DME relay. Anyone have any ideas?? Any places where I should start looking?
Thank you
Peter

Usually those sort of problems are a result of a poor earth.

Also, don't use the URo brand - they are not very reliable in my experience.

Repair or replace the DME relay connector.
