Because I'm not too bad at soldering and far too cheep to buy a new one at £53 $83. If I solder it clean up all the contacts and it woks I've saved myself money.

Cheers guys!
It's all re soldered up and back in the car. Hasn't let me down yet. I'll see how it goes at least if it starts happening again I've just got to order a new relay.

Just make sure u dont cake on the solder, otherwise its prone to cracking.

Whoops, I thought the more the merrier. Oh well I'll see how it goes.
the heat expands and cntracts the PCB, the solder doesn't move nearly as much =cracked solder joints and intermittent connection.
If you cleaned it and fluxed it prior to soldering, and got a nice shiny surface indication you got it hot enough it's probably good to go.
cold dull solder joints are always a problem.
