Yeah, its probably shot. Does it also smell like burnt electrical?

You can put a new one on and you have at least a 75% chance it will work. The only problem will be what caused it to fail. It could be the compressor pulls to much amperage and it caused it to fail or it could be it just failed, voltage surge, wore out, etc.

If you had a compressor analyzer and an amp meter you could test the compressor before you put a relay on it, but they are kind of specialized test equipment.

So your best bet is to try a new relay part AP3885081.
