Question on a DC problem

[ebirder2000@...]

Wayne,
Your "small black part" is probably a thermal circuit breaker. When too
much current goes through this type of breaker it will open the circuit. As
the breaker cools from no current it resets and closes the circuit again. This
will of course go on and on. Two obvious possibilities are that the circuit
breaker has failed or that that circuit has too much load. There are
certainly other possibilities but that is where I would start. NAPA may have
these
breakers or be able to order one for you.

Got a question on a DC problem. We were sitting in the Bird and all of
sudden, the lights starts to "flick" every 10 secs and a "clicking"
noise was coming from the right load center. Upon investigation, the
clicking noise was coming from a small black part which looks like a
relay. I have a picture but can't post it here.

Anyone know what this is and what could be the problem. Did the part
just fail or is there another problem somewhere else. I posted a
picture and placed a picture of the part in the album Curles_1985 PT-40.

Thanks much.
