I should also mention that you might want to try to tighten up the 
#19 connection so that it grips the PC board a bit more tightly. Be 
careful, it's easy to slip and bend that connector too much. I think 
you can do this with a very small screwdriver, like you'd use on 
eyeglass screws.

Also, I've never seen a problem with the wire itself, between here 
and the relay, unless there's some crash damage that's beat up the 
harness.
