Pulled the RCM( as outlined by tighed1) 2 months ago and soldier joints were cracked as described . Resoldered them, same problem. Desoldered and resolder, same problem. Resolder everything on the relay, same problem. Cleaned relay contacts 3 times. Relay seems to only switch when air pump is operating on cold starts. Pulled RCM out after test drive and the relay in question was no where near as hot as the other relays. How often does this relay open or close? Resoldered joints again to confirm good contact last week.
When it dies, is it dead at the "cranking" position? If not.. did you go Bosch on the CPS? Getting a Check Engine Light?
