Rick...

Clean the relay with some plain old typing paper.  Insert a strip of paper
between the relay contacts and pull the paper out.   do that several times.
Check for broken wires too.  I've seen one amp where repeated action of the
relay broke a wire off...or it was hanging on by a thread.  Happened to me
in a MLA2500.  But, clean the relay.
