Thanks... it seems that way. I opened up the combination relay and nothing seemed amiss as far as the relay contacts are concerned... but there are a bunch of ICs and stuff that I have no clue how to check.
However... the combination relay has 3 connectors, the middle one it seems, has a mini plug/connector that goes into the connector. It goes into one pin. I dug around the fuse box and found a single plug that MAY be the one that goes into that single pin. Will try that out tomorrow. The middle plug I'm referring to is also a single large diameter pin type deal... the missing single plug is smaller in diameter. I hope that's it.
