First thing that I've noticed was that all the cables to relays were deteriorating. ![](https://s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com/carsClub/updates/4/1767948470138_8de02b6cc3e03fea.jpg) Interestingly this doesn't only happens to me. I saw bunch of posts on Firebird forums, where people were describing the same issue. Seems like a common problem that happens over time. ![](https://s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com/carsClub/updates/4/1767948479445_7a29e7ca31a0ed16.jpg) What I did so far is I cleaned them all from old grease, take of each cable from the connector and put shrink tubes. ![](https://s3.us-east-005.backblazeb2.com/carsClub/updates/4/1767948593260_684400c34a28744c.jpg) It's hard to say how good the cables looks like under the protection cover. I will try to start the engine first and if I will be successfull at some point I want to track these cables and hopefully replace them fully.
