Diagnostic help
Fault diagnosis concerns electrical faults in connecting cables or in the relay.

Check the wiring
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at various points and in different directions to detect any intermittent breaks or short circuits in the wiring. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.
