The Ice-cube relay labeled "A" in my fuse/relay box has been remaining hot for some time. As far as I can tell, it feeds the power seats. I know I need to investigate the situation but in the meantime I wanted to get the ole girl to start. If not started every day, the battery is drained enough not to start the car. Yesterday, I pulled that relay and put my charger on. After hours of slow rate charging I tried again to start her. Turned over about 10 seconds before the battery was too low to spin her over fast enough. Today I will put the load tester on the battery to assess the condition of it (Interstate about a year old). However, w/o the relay in the socket is there anything that will stop it from starting?

New battery . . Optima, Interstate???
