Hi Dave,

What relays run hot without some issue with a faulty connector?

Loose Relay pins arcing might be the noise he's hearing.
It should be accompanied with some toasting of the relay socket.

Loose female pins are easily tested, adjusted or replaced.

Make a test gauge out of a 1/4" male blade connector crimped on a stiff wire.

Make a pin extraction tool by grinding a long taper straight slot tip on
a stainless ten speed bike spoke.

Get new pins from www.davebarton.com

Best regards, Bill
