Now is there there anyway of testing the relays in the LKM individually?
I thought I fixed the bastard but its playing up again.
Also resolded all the joints between pins 2 and 22 as per Javier's advice , still no go:(

Cut a narrow strip of 320 grit or finer & drag it thru the points. Put a little pressure on the points while doing it:

You can take a pair of tweezers & carefully bend the copper tab slightly to make sure the points close with more contact pressure.

Im sure there's a fix I want to try all the avenues first before considering a new one.
