Nope.  It's a simple relay.  He's going to have to replace it with a
twelve volt relay that's got two sets of contacts.  I'm not sure what
the current relay's hooked up to, but if it's the hokey one that
Tried/DSC normally supplies it's only got one set of normally
open/normally closed contacts.  He could disconnect them and use a meter
to determine which is which.
