Main relay getting hot?
Just bought a main relay out of junkyard rex and it works great but, i noticed the it gets pretty warm after about 20-30 mins driving. i know there is always voltage running through it but i didnt know if maybe this main relay had high resistance or something like that. maybe i am just being paranoid but would rather be safe then sorry since my old relay left me stranded.

they always get pretty hot its just more noticeable when its cold out. On a 100 degree day it just doesnt seem as hot

Have you ever felt a power converter aka "wall wart" after it's been in use? Pretty hot. Unless it fails, it's fine.
