I second the opinion that the battery is most likely the culprit. Clearly,
its a drop in voltage that causing the relay to hunt (turn on/off rapidly).
Since you said that the battery was also drained, that reaffirms the suspicion.
Check if the battery terminals are clean and tight; then do a load test
on the battery. Sears will do a free load test on your battery if you have
a Sears battery in your car now, or if you buy one from them.
