The switch is a hydraulic pressure switch plumbed in. This is the exact part I'm dealing with.

Both the old switch that was installed before the relay and the new one installed after the relay was installed are acting up.
One potential kludge I may try (if I can't make the stock confuguration work) is a 1970s trailer brake controller l have...it plumbs into the lines like the stock part (I have to look into pipe fitting compatibility though) and has an adjustable switch pressure threshold.
