Carefully check the relays for bent pins and the receptacles for any debris or damage.

I just removed my FPR a couple of weeks ago following a no-start condition. I did a careful inspection, but found no obvious issues, so I cleaned the pins with electrical contact cleaner... reinstalled the relay and it started right up.

I documented the above in the following thread:

Sometimes I call it the "Mercurial-Benz"

thanks for the post.

I removed both relays and the pins are straight and they are not discolored. I took a small wire brush to the pins and then sprayed the pins with deoxit.

The issue I am having is the physical contact of the tangs on the sides of the relays, in particular the two tangs on the sides where the climate relay and fuel pump relay are side by side. If both relays are removed, the fist one in seats fully but then when the second relay is installed the tang from relay being installed next hits the tang of the relay that is already installed, this keeps the second relay from being fully seated.

ideas?
