Thanks folks!!

i pulled the relay out and actually took it apart. it appears that about 30 years worth of water had settled into the part. since it actually mounts upside down, it "collected" that water and rusted everything!! taking it apart, i actually jumped the relay arm with the non-rusted-together terminal, and low and behold, HIGH SPEED!
i was going to bend the rusted parts together, but then you dont have any other speed, only high.
CMC Jim was correct: the relay is for high speed, while the resistor is for low.
just for grins, i did check the resistor and it was fine.

i want to thank everyone who contributed and helped me out! THANK YOU!!
