Glad you found it. That is a typical “Bosh type” relay. Very common. We bought them by the sack full in our business. It appears the original one was installed properly with close attention to the white ground wire and connection. However, over time these connections get corrosion or rust behind them and can cause all kinds of grief as you have found out. The mere act of replacing the relay could temporarily fix an intermittent due to exercising the mounting screw. Once repaired you can shoot paint over it.
I like to use a dremel tool with a barrel sanding disk to clean places like this. If you find other relays using the same grounding method I highly recommend you take time to clean those up. Exercise the connections on the relay as well because those too can build up resistance.
