The 'timed delay relay' is part of your ignition control board.
Some models it is a stand alone relay......power from ON/OFF switch/CB went to the relay and then to blower motor AFTER power come from T-stat that energized a coil which when heated made up path in relay for power to blower motor.
You have power to board and power from T-stat....blower runs when you jumper power.
Bad ignition control board OR bad connections/ground on board.
Replacement board......Dinosaur Board LINK
