GPR Questions

I have 12v on the battery side and on the the other side it's dead when the switch is on. It sounds like it's being activated but my meter shows .02v for a split second and its back to zero.......Do they just fail like that or is there a short somewhere?

They just fail like that. The disc inside that makes contact and passes the current from one post to the other has finally shorted out or given up. Not too uncommon at all.

When a gpr starts failing can it work Right most of the time and randomly not work, because my truck will sometimes start great in the morning without being plugged in and others it's a pain even with same weather conditions?
