I took the relay out and it looks fine, I cannot tell if it is no good since I do not know how to test I went to radio shack and local auto parts but no one carries that relay. Where can I look next?

You can test the relay with a multimeter and a 9 volt battery. If you put the 9 volt battery to the two coil contacts (see my line drawing below) the relay will click on. When it is on the contacts will close, so with a multimeter you can check between the two contacts. They should be open when the 9 volt battery is not on the coils and closed when it is.
