Yes, very similar to behavior of mine recently. See
discussions in the last few weeks.
Bottom line is that I disassembled the relay and
cleaned and resoldered joints, and then found a
problem with a loose fuse on the top of the relay. One
or the other or a combination of all the above fixed
mine. It is still working fine.
Hope this helps,
Mike
