Yes. New parts can be defective from the factory. But if changing the relay a second time does not correct the problem, the problem probably isn't the part. There may be something wrong with the wiring.

How do you test fuel pump Relay on a 1988 gmc 1500?

Type your answer here... you don't... there is no way to test a faulty relay. Just buy a new relay and install it. If the problem is fixed, then the old relay was bad. If the problem still exists with the new relay installed, then the old relay is still good. Most auto parts stores are good for returning products, even electrical parts.

1995 Saturn SL1 horn clicks but won't work New horn doesn't fix problem Electricity at harness without horn but no power when new horn is installed?

One side of the horn probably has direct power, and the other side is the switching side. So when the horn button is pushed, the relay connects the horn to ground. Check the relay it is most likely bad.
