Yeah, I agree. The fact that it works sometimes and doesn't work at others is what I find most interesting. Most of the time with magnet problems, they fail completely, or with misadjustment they won't hold. It could be adjustment or it could be an internal magnet winding broken and making intermittent contact. This could be tough to isolate. If it were mine and I could not find an obvious problem, I think I'd replace the relay. But, that would be "Easter-egging" to some degree.
