P-town left coast. :(

Ok, so I'm pretty sure its the relay not the wires. I finally found the
wires and they seem a little rough, but I couldn't find any way to replace
them. I exposed the relay and pressed the button. It would click and the
OD light would change most of the time, but then it would stop working for
no reason. I took it apart and tried to clean some of the corrosion on the
solder, but that didn't really fix anything. I couldn't find any cracked or broken solder points. It got to where I could push the button, and the OD would disengage, then push the button again, nothing would happen, then I would flick the relay and it would engage.

My solution for this weekend is to stuff some cardboard paper in there
in such a way as to hold the relay closed so that the button pushing does
nothing.

Is that a bad idea? It seemed to be pretty hot after riding it for a little
while, but I don't know how it usually is. Any reason not to do this? I'll
be ordering a replacement relay too, but I'm sure it won't be here in time
for my trip.
