Did you remember to put the 1K resistor across the positive and TRG terminal? You can futz around a little with that resistor value to make sure the trigger circuit isn't getting to much or little bias voltage. (750 ohm / 1.2K ohms) It's possible that the relays components tolerances have shifted a little or the contact has accumulated a little more resistance than when you first installed it.

Thanks Jim,

No I did not install a resistor on the timer.  I did not think it
was necessary for a dry contact closer for the trigger.

I may be wrong on that but I will investigate and modify as needed.

I like the long string thought.  I will need to mention this to the
customer then next time I am there.

Again I am holding for one other to chime in before the revel.

Thanks!!
