Lightbulb intermittent relay??

Found the earlier thread on SC fuel relay problems related to alarm and how to jump #30 and #87a.

Jumping had no effect. The alarm is a not-so-nice hack by a PO with a horn in the smuggler box and splices into the fuse panel near the fuel. The alarm control unit is not as Warren's pic showed: it is much more simple, like a four post black plastic block with only two leads attached.

So, as I replaced the fuel relay (black) with the horn and window regulator relays, no current to pump. But, with red relay... and wiggling the *defective* black relay that was in place, I can get current to the pump.

The red relay is a different part number, and is in the slot at the end (closest to front bumper) labeled "rel. air conditioner"

Any ideas??
