Is there something I should check that would cause an intermittent GP failure, or is it pretty much limited to a bad relay?

Fuse is solid from what I can see, I do have the older loop style plugs. Anyone have a good source, or a part # for pencil plugs that have the right fit?

You prolly should start a new thread instead of hijacking this one and its a good idea to ID your car in your signature.

trouble with those loopers is "one goes, they all go". Phil here in the parts dept can help you and their prices are right. The new style GPs are a huge improvement.
