They only cost about $10.00 and you can get them at any auto parts store.
So I always replace them when coming across problems like yours just so I know the relay is good.
I always go with the simplest things first and work my way up.

You cannot judge relays by looks. My Subaru blower fan was working intermittently. To make sure it was the relay, I swapped it with the rear defroster relay and the fan works perfectly. I'll be buying a new relay for the defroster very soon.
