    Manhandlng the relays can strain the contacts, so when you remove/refit, or even just wiggle the relay can make the connection again. Could be corrosion, water, mud, grime ... only way to know for sure is to remove the fusebox(engine bay) look underneath for any suspicious looking wire connections.
    I have bought a new fuse box. I was not going to install it but... I am having Three Amigos problems. Change the hub, still there, further investigation tells me that one of the 12V supplies for the ABS ECU comes from that fuse box. The fuse box might be the cause of both errors.

    I once had trouble with the fusebox on the D2 too. Can't recall which exact relay(maybe the AC fan) car was in brothers possession at the time.

    Connectors plug into the underside, look for rust, etc.
    IIRC you can separate the fuse box body and see it guts, and make sure no rust in there too.
    Also wires/pins in the connectors too, look for dodgy stuff there.

    Hopefully fixes your issues.
