Hi, I have had a bit of experience using these style relays, and from memory I think there maybe two types. Whether this is a manufacturer difference or a Type: [model#] that I never really picked up on I'm not sure. I'm under the belief you may either have a faulty one, or a style in which power to PIN 87 is in !addition! to 87a as opposed to !instead! of. I am not 100% sure, but in case you may not have thought down that track I thought I'd mention it. To me though... What you have suggested looks true and correct, it should work. My suggestion would be to try it again with a known working relay to identify if your one is ok. Good luck.
