but one leg, #30 is supposed to be hot always
I guess I can probe the fuse block.
The coil leg would only be hot when the relay was supposed to be on.

We don't know which relay we are looking at. The crank relay in position #34 is the one that might be involved. Other things to look at are the park/neutral switch on an auto or the clutch switch on a standard and the ground location on the top of the trans near the oil filter and fuse #5 underhood.
The fuse box might be marked. If all else fails you could test for the always hot slot with a test light or VOM.

Looking at the numbers on the bottom, where the pins are. 30 and 87 are diagonal, as are 85 and 86. So donbrew is correct, it doesn't matter which way they install. I did not expect to see that.
Just tested with the horn relay, works the same with the relay in either position.

there are a few of those relays in your box; try looking at them or swapping.You might try tightening the bolts on the box.
If you know the recall has not been done and you suspect the switch is your problem, I think you can guess my question.
