Forget Texas, there's one on the way from Florida ......

I even went to ToA and Shaun was unable to get any schematics. They come 
from an outside source and appear that they are pretty much replaced in 
event of failure

Yeah, new meters are so expensive .....

As for the problem it sounds if you have 1 of two things

1-the wire is damaged at some point and your moving the lines around fixed 
the problem
2-one of your components was loose or had a bad connection and your moving 
the parts around re-seated the bad connection. Did you make sure the relay 
was firmly seated? all other connections looked ok?
