That relay has already been replaced once by me - I'll be jumpering it for my tests. I was hoping someone would have the wiring schematic of the CONTROL circuit for said relay (presumably of the security circuit, showing what has to happen in the security circuit to trigger that to connect)

I used very small control wire- smaller than speaker wire. However upon close inspection after work yesterday, I could find no melting or other signs of issue in the wiring. If the NSS is where my current disappears, I'll have to test the switch to ensure proper functionality.

Thanks for the help folks - need this snowstorm weather to leave the NorthEast soon so I can tear into this on a day off!
