That's what mine was, sort of. Noticed my a/c was kinda warm while idling and found my fan wasn't working (the large one though). Thought my fan motor was dead, but it came on when I jiggled the relay. Replaced the relay and it worked fine for awile and then started acting up again, and I found it to be the contacts between the relay and the power distribution box weren't making very good contact. I took a little screwdriver and carefully bent the little springy part of the contact in the fuse box (for lack of a better description, lol) so that they clamped together tightly, and I haven't had a single problem with it since (that was about 5 months ago, and I've used the a/c just about every single day since then, so they've been run quite a bit w/o prob)
