Did you check it when it was hot enough (over 210) to trip the relay?

Might be a bad sending unit, or bad connection elsewhere.

When mine went out, I had a bad fan motor, and then a bad relay a couple years later. No problems elsewhere nor since.

Make sure that there is power to your relay, and on the low voltage side when the temp is elevated. Just because a relay is new doesn't mean that it works.

ETA: Turn the A/C on and it should spin right up.
