Never heard of it. Where is it? The only factory relays are the fan relay in the fuse box & the starter relay (aka "solenoid") by the battery.

 

Pray tell; what in the hell is a "Chassis Relay"??? My Shop Manual doesn't list any such animal!

Cheers

 

switch relays around. They are all the same. Identify the bad guy.

Note: on the XP the chassis relay CAN BE OUT and the machine still starts and runs if memory serves.

Also those little guys may be the electronic style - hence no noise?

I'm still learning too

 

Thanks for posting the pics, Itsruf; NOW I know what and where the "Chassis Relay is, though I still don't have a clue what it does!

Cheers

 

those are a resistor/ coil style not a diode/ coil style - shouldn't be too loud?

 

BarRZR...It is there to make a clicking sound to annoy the owner. Now you know what it does! Depending on the relay they can also function as an "inopportune moment shut-off switch" for the mudders.

 

check your grounds

 

I ordered one from the dealer,should be here in a couple of days.The parts guys didn't know what it controlled either.I did not ask in the service department.
Also I did check grounds and connections.

Thank you to everyone for your interest and answers about this problem.

So I guess you have a 2011-2012 then.
Here's a block diagram from the service manual of that part of the wiring. The chassis relay controls lights, AWD and accessories.

I just had to change my circuit breaker under the battery box last night and after I did that the beast wouldnt turn over.." did before even with 20amp circuit breaker was disconnected" after we rewired it up behind seat would not turn over but had lights.. pulled several fuses and when we pulled the chasis relay it turned over but got a check engine light, popped the chasis relay back in and light came off and the machine ran great... looking to replace that relay but just trying to see if this happened... thanks and this guy likes to get dirty!

 

the circuit breaker is for the fan only

 

yes... but when i swaped out circuit breaker there is no i problem wioth the chassis relay... wont turn over when its in... pull it n it starts right up but check engine comes on... put it back in and light goes out n runs great... are they connected by any means?
