Actuator relays

Do you have a wild guess - how long do they typically last performing good (before gradually starting to leak)?

5 years
10 years
15 yaers
20 years
??? :smash:

They started leaking the day the car came off the assembly line, and went downhill from there. :D

Re: Actuator relays (nuolitie)

I have the original one on my 69 and they work fine... I had a 71 several years ago that had a slow one so I replaced both of the headlight relays with new GM replacement which last less tha one year. Go figure. I replace the new ones with some used ones that I found at a swap meet and they lasted until I sold the car.There is a repair article at http://www.corvettefaq.com
