Swap the relay with another one if you have one like somewhere else on the truck. If that doesn't work, take a flashlight and look at the socket where the relay plugs in. See if the terminals in the socket are spread out more than others in the vicinity. If they are, I have taken needle nose and put a very slight twist on the relay lugs, and then plugged it in to make it tighter in the socket. Don't over do the twist, I usually do the first time and it won't even go in the socket, so I flatten them back out a little bit till the relay goes in with some force behind it.
