The hood bumps look like something Chrysler would’ve done. But the font hinges? Also leaning towards it being an import.

Without a formal education in physics,or googling it I’d say it is about the mass and the energy it takes to remove the heat.

Can you give a wiring diagram to the system? The Difference between when the relay worked and when it didn’t ?
