FWIW I had that problem several times, until I added a diode snubber. My
theory is that the original relay had oversize and/or precious metal contacts,
to deal with the arcing caused by kickback from the solenoid; but the
replacements I tried did not. At any rate, I had two reproduction relays and a
Bosch general purpose relay all quit working reliably within less than a year
of daily driving. After adding the diode, even the "cheap chinese" general
purpose relay is still working fine many years later.
