Any other markings. shematics, etc?

If not, you are gonna have to either tear the cover off, or get a multimeter.

<Edit>

I'd be willin to bet 87 and 87A are the coil. Check them with a meter, if it is a direct short or open, its not it. The coil should read 5 ohms on up, but not over 200k.

86 * * 30

well, i figured that 85 and 86 is power and ground, and 30 is the trigger switch, what i don't know is difference between 87 and 87a, i don't know which one is suppose to go to the device

damn, the little picture i made doesn't come out right when posted

Take a pic of it, or draw it on Paint.

If you do a ASCII pic here, you can't use spaces. You have to use periods. *........{}.......* etc
