George,

Yep, it all comes back to me, not enough voltage, test the starter, 
...... Sorry I forgot.

Did you try another relay? The Bosch site that I was looking on says 
that their relay only takes 150 milliamps to activate and I get the 
implication from that that any reasonable voltage should be OK.
