Is your DeLorean suffering from unreliable electrics, random stalling, or cooling fan problems? In this video, I install the K111168A Improved Relay Update Kit and show you exactly how to upgrade the fuse/relay area for better reliability and safety.
This kit replaces the original weak relays, circuit breakers, and the troublesome blue fan-fail module with modern Bosch relays, a fused jumper, upgraded breakers, and fresh fuses. It’s one of the most important preventative upgrades for any DMC-12.
I also go through theory and operation of relays, circuit breakers, and fuses. Check it out.
🔧 What’s Included in the Relay Update Kit:
New Bosch changeover relays
RPM (Tach/Fuel) relay for reliable fuel pump operation
Upgraded 25A and 40A circuit breakers
Fused jumper wire to replace the blue fan-fail module
Complete set of fresh fuses
📋 In this video I cover:
How to access and remove the old relays & breakers
Replacing the blue fan-fail module with a fused jumper
Installing upgraded Bosch relays and circuit breakers
Refreshing the fuse panel with new fuses
Checking relay sockets for proper connection
Testing the fuel pump, cooling fans, and electrical systems
⚡ Why this upgrade matters:
Eliminates common electrical issues in the DeLorean
Prevents overheating and stalling problems
Improves cooling fan reliability with a 40A breaker
Provides dependable fuel pump operation with a modern RPM relay
Refreshes the entire fuse/relay panel for long-term peace of mind
Whether you’re restoring your DeLorean or preparing it for regular driving, the relay update kit is a must-do upgrade for reliability and safety.
👉 Watch until the end for tips to avoid mistakes and ensure everything works perfectly after installation.
