That's actually a good point about the relay. Since I already replaced the pump, that might be a good place to look. I was going to say that my battery is basically new but it is 4.5 years old. Got it from AAA. 94 AGM.

The thing will crank forever though. I can't imagine it's the battery. But who knows. I'll go thru your thread and check it out!
