Definately get the part called for in the parts manual (or its equivalent).
Those type of solenoid relays come in (at least) two varieties: intermittent duty
(e.g. for engaging starters), and continuous duty (what you need). If it gets that
hot, it's possible someone replaced it with an "AutoZone Special" intermittent duty
solenoid.
