Guy this is so easily fixed. All you need to do is burnish the relay's normally open contacts, which are now dirty & degraded from the years of use. Go to Radio Shack or check their website for a relay contact burnishing tool. These are like a very fine nail file, but are coated with diamond dust on both sides. You simply insert the spatula end in between the contacts, then apply finger pressure to the relay armature to hold the contacts against the tool, then file with an in/out motion. If both sides of the tool aren't abrasive (some are / some aren't) then turn it over & do the opposite contact. Spray or hand apply some good oilfree contact cleaner afterwards. Crocus cloth (a very fine abrasive) found in better hardware stores will also do a good job, & is cheaper too.
