Fuel pump Relay 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be TJC on  Sun Feb 5 19:16 CST 2023 [RELATED]

long time since I've been on this board. The issue I'm facing is on my '88 240. Recently the car would not start. Just crank. I always look to the fuel pump relay in this situation on a 240. Reach under the dash and sure no click. I keep jiggling it around and still no start. Next day after trying a few different relays and more jiggling it clicks and subsequently starts right up. drove it around a couple more days and then a total no start again. I did notice that there was a bit of buzz from the relay but not that firm click when things are correct. Finally after a week it started again and I drove it around for a couple hours. It still starts but I haven't moved it in a week.
Question: Could it be the ignition switch itself?
