You can make you own Isolation relay from two DPDT relays in a simple circuit. The schematic diagram is somewhere here in the archives (and in my files) but I would refer to the OP to post it again. If you check Rodney Dickman's web site he may be offering a replacement.

Rodney does make his own replacement isolation relay. I bought one for my 86 GT, works great. I think it was about 40 bucks...Color coded, easy to install...

Relays and blocking Diodes they often have block amp loads and EMF and power surges from the rest of car.

Relays can wear out but often isn't them that's the problem.
Motors and rest of HL lift can have problems plus often have bad wiring causing low volts causing high amp draw and fry the relays.
See my Cave, Electric Motors

If you bypass or replace any relays and other things are Root Cause then can and likely will have more problems in very near future.
