Relays
for your 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 HD
Just about every type of vehicle (cars, trucks, and boats) has relays that control amperage circuits. A great example of relays at work is the headlight system in a GMC Sierra 3500 HD. The headlight switch generates too much amperage for the headlight wiring. The relay acts as a go-between for low amperage circuits and high amperage circuits.
Relays are versatile and can handle several processes at a time, and this leads to smooth functioning throughout the vehicle. Unfortunately, it also means that when one relay fails, you may find that it affects multiple processes. When the headlights aren't working on your GMC Sierra 3500 HD or the radio isn't operating right, it could be a worn relay.
