Hi Alex,

I don't know where you live but in Europe there is an very inexpensive way for a 2000 ST. Conrad Electronics (www.conrad.com) offers very inexpensive standard car relays which fit in the 2 relay sockets of the 2000 ST.
The order number is 840629-62. After putting in these relays all should work fine.
Maybe any other electronic store can help you with these parts. The original Triumph parts must be made from Gold ...

best regards 

Enrico
