Thats the second time ive seen you post that now?

What are you on about? How does cranking an engine burn out a relay that is continuously on while the engine is running anyway
Because as you continuously crank, the engine is on/off/on/off etc, and so is the relay, causing it to flick back and forth and very possibly burn out, perhaps not as commonly/easily as ivorbiggun made out but possibly.
one word...........BOLLUCKS!

My cabriolet when it has issues used to take a good 5 minutes of solid cranking to start............
