the problems are caused by dry joints

if you get another one it could have the same probs and you need to get one with the same part no.

what i done was take the fuse box out, take the plastic covers off and re-solder every pin i could get the soldering iron onto

just make sure make not of EXACLY where all the relays go, and the solid links and make sure you get tham all the right way round.

make a drawing

 

just get another one.
most faulty ones are binned so there is still a few good'ns left
