07 Phazer starter issue

[RX1MountainMan]

Anyone having issues with the starter relay/solenoid on their "07 Phazer? The wife's started acting up last weekend when I went to load the sled. When I turned the key it would just click. At first I thought the key had been left on so I hooked the jumper cables up and it still would just click. I pulled the relay off of the rubber mounting bracket to look at the fuses and they looked ok so I put it back, bump the starter and it fired. It has done it a couple of times since and the other night I just tapped on the top of the relay with a small wrench and it fired right up. Is the solenoid/relay T.U. or maybe a contact problem? It did look like there was condensation under the covers over the fuses after riding in some light fluffy powder. Thoughts?

When they get wet they do that, and thats all ou can do is dry it out and go with it or keep a spare to switch out.

You might check with your dealer, I think I heard something about a recall on the starter issue?

Thats for the hard starting 15-30 secs of cranking-its a free recall which changes the ecu to a 2008 version and puts a different strength decompression spring in and now starts in 3-5 secs.
