Pump with its own mind!

I have dilemma. Three weeks ago my fuel pump on my 1976s stopped working, at that time I thought it was burned out. I took a few minuets today to troubleshoot the pump and decided to start at the fuse block. The voltage checks out at the fuse OK. So I moved the horn relay to the pump location, and low and behold the pump started; as did the car. I then placed the pump relay back in place and the car started with it as well.

Now I have a problem. I don’t want to buy a new fuel pump if I don’t have to. I can drive the car and thank AAA for their fine service if I have a problem, or I can defer to you fine people for some advice.

The pump sounds as it did before it stopped working. Can any body tell me if the relays in these cars have high failure rate.
Thanks for your help
