Please don't take this the wrong way, but I must start with the very basics because I am unfamiliar with your knowledge/skill level.

Reason 1-8: Loose connections (something not plugged, crimped, or screwed tightly on the load or control side)

Reason 9: Insufficient amperage rating on the relay contacts.

Reason 10: Incorrect voltage on the relay coil.

Are you sure of all your connections - including both grounds?
