Assuming something like this throws no codes (and I don't know whether it would or not), the easiest way to track this down is to find the relay in question, remove it from the car (should be a plug-in module), clean it out/swap with an identical relay (depending on whether it's built to be cleaned), then reinstall and see what happens.

I don't have access to a 986 manual, but it's relay #S15 in the front relay box in the 987.

(BTW, I'm not suggesting that this has to be the problem; merely providing another option.)
