Is there something else in series with the relay coil circuits?


Make sure the drive motor field is supplied with power. That may fix the 
slow energy problem, and this one too. The voltage to the relays is 
probably low due to the armature pulling too much current.

I trhink that is NOT bypassed. The non bypassed resistors reduce the 
current to the field. As SteveS said, loose connections at the 
microswitches are a possibility. also the tops wear off, but usually the 
switches at the other end.
