Update. Received the new relay board (thanks, M!) and before swapping I went through all the same troubleshooting procedures above on the old board to ensure it wasn't a gremlin. Same results, so it's repeatable. I installed the replacement board (with a healthy dose of dieletric grease) and the car fired right up. Beautiful New England Fall day, sunny and 70s, and it was a joy to drive.
In inspecting my board I noticed that some of the pins of T14, including my suspect #12, were "smashed together." You know what I mean: the four quarters of the male pins were squished or collapsed together, such that the slots were closed. Given that my troubleshooting revealed that I had voltage but apparently not enough amperage to activate the solenoids, it's quite possible that this was the core issue. So, as with Matt's link above, we should probably check these male and female terminals regularly, ensuring the male ends are not collapsed, and the female ends not expanded or corroded. In my case I used a razor blade to slide into the slots and gently pry them apart, and I may get motivated this winter to swap them out and see what happens... |
