Have you taken the main relay out and taken it apart yet? Do that and check the connections inside of it, might just be bad connections. Just re-solder everything and try it.

bought a brand new relay, i don't think the old one was bad either.

Usually no need to buy a brand new one, just re-solder the old one.

I'm not exactly sure where the main relay grounds at OE, but if you can find it, I would check it. If not, I don't see a harm in grounding it, just so long as it still kicks on and off with the key as it should anyways.

the relay should be grounded through the mounting point... iirc... if not, it's the black wire under the dash right near it... if i had a cam on hand, i'd take a pic of what I"m talking about right now and upload it... but there is a ground wire somewhere close to the relay.
