Never use a toggle switch always use a Push button.......held on too long is the cause for burning out the GPs. Ensure there is a VERY good ground......... Check all the GPs with a test light....... What brand GPs are they...........Beru Motorcraft......the only ones to use.........Azone $9

If you have the solid state system what was wrong with it to cause you to bypass it..... it is the best system available.

Sounds like you have a bad relay. There aren't any rotating parts.
