Re: is this normal?
Yeah, it's normal. I have the same sound on my 98 accord. It's a relay that
switches on and off depending if you're holding the pedal up or down and works in the way the previous poster described. You can even open it up and see exactly where the relay is (relay is an elecromagnetic switch). Kind of like a transistor but it uses different principles to switch on/off. --Viktor "amsjsj" <amsjsj@cox.net> wrote in message news:UtTYb.4555$iB.775@lakeread06... > no i had it for awhile i also put a different gear shifter on it.

A switch can be either mechanical (relay) or purely electrical (as some transistors are) but a solenoid (by definition) must incorporate both an electrical and a mechanical component (such as the actuating mechanism on an auto starter). I agree that both perform the same basic function and that the difference is really rather picayune but there is a difference. Dave D -- Hunt hard...Kill quick...Offer No Apologies! > > |

Re: is this normal?
Yes, Dave. I agree. I meant it in terms of practical use they are the same.
They both do the same thing. Of course their mechanisms are a little different but that's not important for this discussion. The reason I mentioned relay is because most people know more about relays than they do about solenoids. --Viktor "Dave Dodson" <ddodson@gci.net> wrote in message news:10392qg5nu4dj32@corp.supernews.com... > > > "electricked" <no_emails_please> wrote in message > news:JYOdna4qt87WpKndRVn_iw@comcast.com... > > "Randolph" <trash@junkmail.com> wrote in message > > news:40341D0D.E78DAF11@junkmail.com... > > > It is actually a solenoid, not a relay. > > > > Same thing. > > > > --Viktor > No, Viktor, they are not the same thing.

(Hehe, if you get my meaning). I am sure that more are familiar with relays than solenoids (or at least they think they are) because they use the term relay and solenoid interchangable rather than correctly but you are correct in the fact that the technical correct term should take second place to the function as that is what is important.
