One of you will know what this is...

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

I have no notion -why- it would be doing it especially with that sort of
regularity.  The only thing I can suggest is to remove the relay and smell
it to see if it is burnt.  You might take the cover off and look at it and
see if it is a bit fried too.  But then the only thing you can do is replace
it..  :-(

Good Luck,
  David
