You should be able to hear the relay open. Is that occurring after two seconds?

Well I don't hear a click after 2 seconds when the volts return to 12.4 - the rise just kind of seems to happen. The initial relay click when the ignition is turned to run is quite noticable.

The opening click is usually equally noticable. Measuring the elapsed time from click to click might be worthwhile.
