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.
+1!
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.
