Default Main Relay testing procedure

There are several versions on instructions posted and several different pinned relays.
Can someone tell me the correct testing for this particular relay?



I am using the schematic diagram and holding my relay to match. I am not using the etched ACTUAL locations pictured in the 3-D pic. Am i correct in the following...

When I test schematic pin#1(+) to schematic Pin#3(-) I get power.
I also get power when I test from schematic pin#1(+) to schematic Pin#6(-)

Does that mean it is a dead relay?

I have attempted to test using these posted docs...


There are variations I have seen posted that go a different route. I have read some docs that reference #4 and #8 but apparently this relay that I have (pictured above RZ 0132) does not have a pin#4?

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you can do the checks using that procedure, but substitute terminal 6 where it says 4.

Edited:

Jim..... using the actualy markings on the relay...

1 & 3 = No continuity ---&gt; next step
(+)4 & (-)8 --relay powers up tested 5 & 7 - continuity good ----&gt; next step
(+)5 & (-)2 --relay powers up tested 1 & 3 - continuity good ----&gt; next step
(+)3 & (-)8 --relay powers up tested 5 & 7 - continuity good.

end of test.

I will assume my relay is good.
