Hmmmnnn.........
The relays are simple devices that sometimes get a little corrosion between the contacts. Sometimes it is just the external contact pins. If sure it's the relay, you have nothing to loose but a little time by attempting to better the electrical contact. If the external pins seem fine, try removing the cover from the relay, delicately inspecting between the contacts and delicately cleaning them (did I say delicately?) with perhaps a strip of fine emery paper (#400 or finer) folded in half and dragged between the contacts (only once or twice so as not to remove any silver plating!) Finish by spraying with a little electrical contact cleaner and reassemble. Presto! A (perhaps) renewed relay.
Some of our relays are pretty common and may be available at a local auto parts store. I believe that I have obtained at least one at a common retail supply house.

Good advice Allen, thx for the input.
If I were to miss the $16 I just spent on a new one I might try this but I will not, so awaiting the new relay delivery, sure this will do the trick.
