Default Fuel Pump Relay

After troubleshooting and finding a nonfunctioning fuel pump relay, I see why they fail. After removing the relay from its case to reveal the circuit board the soldered connections appear normal with the naked eye, BUT with my 10X magnification eye loop you can see the cracked/dry solder connections. I re-soldered all the posts, bench tested the relay and it worked! Plugged it back in and car fired right up and no longer stalls. It's highway robbery that dealers and parts stores sell new ones for $70! They should feel guilty.
