When servicing a Porsche vehicle, the plastic relay covers are frequently pulled off while attempting to remove a relay. Unfortunately, the attachment clips are usually damaged when the cover is removed and will no longer stay securely in place. In addition, if the cover is reinstalled in the incorrect position, the relay’s functionality will be compromised. In other words, if the relay cover is removed, you must replace the relay.
