Upon further inspection, I found that it is the coil, not the diode. What's weird is that after sitting on my back porch all night (humidity) the relay works fine for a while, then back to no action from the coil, so as a temporary "fix" untill I replace it I used solder to make contact between two points on the circuit board, next to the pin that has constant voltage. When the coil is working correctly, and the ignition is turned to the on position, which gets juice to pin 87, it seems that one of these points is from the coil that would supply the voltage to pin 87. So I just bridged them together. I know it's just a "jerry rig", but untill I can cough up $90.00 for another relay it will have to do. Anybody know a source for relays that is cheaper than the dealer?
