Got another no start. Without the key in the ignition I again wiggled the relay and it got stuck turning over till I pulled out the relay. I put it back in and wiggled it again a bit and it began to turn over without a key in the ignition. I removed the relay and opened the case. It was corroded pretty bad and not in good shape. I had thrown the other relay away and could not find it to look inside it as well. Maybe happenstance that they were in both about the same condition causing intermittent operation.?

If it is just a corroded relay, you should be able to jump around it and start the truck until you can get a new one ordered up...Mark
