If ite the regulator then you might as well get a new one. with like a lifetime warrenty on it, and no a relay would not cause it, all a realy dose basically is open a curent and then closes it.

i must say the battery is aminly only used to start the car. then doesn't do much. your alt takes over from there. but any lose of powere would be to check to see if your alt is pulling out the right amount og ampage it should be. DVOM is the best investment for this cux you will use it to check volts and power connections all the time.
