  Rick,
  I haven't had this problem, but I would suggest opening up the old relay to
see what exactly failed.  Did the coil fail?  Did the plunger get stuck?  Was
the problem actually in the pump motor?  I did find a brand new relay of this
type with a broken coil wire (manufacturing defect).  I still have it on
display here in my office.
