![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I just purchased a 1991 911 C2 from a small used dealer. It has 33k miles and is in nice shape. A couple fuses helped solve a couple of small problems but there are a few electrical issues to work out. I am wondering if a relay is to blame.
Here are the things not working:
Power locks
Factory alarm and little LEDs on the lock stalks
Clock
Warning lights around the clock
The trip computer screen only has a flashing "P" and does not respond to stalk commands
The ABS light comes on after starting but goes off after a little while.
An exclamation point warning lights up upon starting.
Do you think it is a relay problem? Is there a way to test relays?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I love my new car!

The ABS light is normal and the exclamation light will come on if the hand brake is on or the seat belt is not fastened so they may not be part of your overall problem. Good luck with the rest.

I'm having the opposite problem with my alarm - it's gong off for no reason at times. I'll let you know if I find an expert on the matter. I believe you can test relays the say way you test fuses - your local auto parts store should sell a testing kit. Also look for any exposed wire. I have a 3.2 carrera where the hot wire to the engine comp. light was exposed, giving problems throughout the car.
