Question on a DC problem

[Mike Hohnstein]

Sounds like a clicking circuit breaker, which of course indicates a short in the
wire that the CB supplies. I hate that when it happens, and it does in a
complicated machine that spends time on the road being subjected to the pot
holes and expansion joints on the nations highways. Start by identifying the
offending circuit, then using a continuity tester locate both ends of the
suspect wire. Once that has been accomplished, it's a matter of either finding
the location of the "rub thru" and repairing or running a new wire. It's better
to find the location of rub thru so the problem doesn't reoccur. Ain't it great
puttering with a "vintage 'bird?

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.
