Just a guess - could be NTSC/PAL format issues or the relay you've bought is not the correct one.

I'd try another replay.

It's the relay - it's got to be wired wrong.

Sure you got the right relay? I had similar problems when I was fitting mine, all down to wiring or relay.

Double check wiring too, at times like this you go blind at the obvious!
