A relay is a kind of electrical switch which interconnects an electric circuit. It works using an electromagnet which makes or breaks a contact when a voltage is applied to the coil. It is activated immediately when voltage is applied. In a relay delay, the electromagnet is not energized instantaneously when a voltage is applied. It is activated after a fixed set of time or programmed time.Various types of delay mechanism are available, some fixed, some with variable time delay. The timing mechanism can be mechanical, motorized or electronic.

What does the time delay relay in a 91 Dakota do?

Time delay relayA relay which responds to a signal with a certain delay. In some ignition systems, a time delay relay allows for full vacuum advance 20-30 seconds after start-up, after which control is again taken up by the TCS; some cars have an additional time delay relay which delays vacuum advance about 30 seconds after the transmission has been shifted to high gear

What does the relay do for the car?

There are three types of relay. Normally open relays mean the electric current can't pass until something causes the relay to close and complete the circuit. Example: when you start your car you are closinga relay when you turn the key and the circuit to the starter is allowing electricity to the starter. Normally close relays mean the circuit always has electricity unless you do something to stop it. Last but not least is a switching relay where the power is switched from one circuit to the next. Example: headlights bright to dim also dims or brightens the dash lights.
