mbdoc,

Thanks! I don't know how I missed that relay first time around!

I checked the solder joints on the board and there were almost 10 joints that had cracks. Three or four of them looked cracked all the way around so these were probably the ones causing the problem.

I did the best I could with what I had. A very fine soldering iron would have been best. The first few weren't going too well and then I remembered the admonition to be sure to use flux and after that the joints went much easier.

Plugged the relay back in and it works!

Thanks again.
