The Control Relay is misnamed as it is a sensor for driving the pictogram. You can eliminated it by making a Y jumper from 56a to 56aL and 56aR and another one from 56b to 56bL and 56bR. You probably will find cracked or cold solder joints in the Hi/Lo relay control. Seems they didn't use a heavy enough heat source when assembling the board and the thermally thirsty (large mass) of the big relay tabs didn't get properly warmed up to wet to the liquid solder. On the 'Control Relay' there was also poor soldering done on the productionline when mating the base 90° to the tall printed circuit board. The base feeds the lamp current up thru a sensing circuit comparator which will fire up the pictogram lamp when differing current flows are measured. It is better to remove the old solder and get to a clean pad then resolder with 60/40 electronic solder. Solder wick will sponge up the old solder when laid between the iron (heat source) and the work (lump of solder). Common trouble cheap fix. If you can't do it and can send me the relays with return postage/labeling I'll do it and get it back to you asap. Its a 10 minute job for me on my bench. 6 minutes for the solder/desolder station to warm up.
