I've been having problems with a hot water circulation system. It worked last winter and is connected to a wall mounted thermostat for radiant heating. When I multimeter the switching relay I don't have low voltage across the wires that connect to the thermostat (T and T when checked against each other and also if checked against ground.

In the relay box the labels on the screws on the right side of the picture are:

2 - 2
1
3 4

If I meter 1 to 2 or 1 to 4 I get 120 V. If I meter 2 to 3 I get zero volts.

Based on the relay schematic, shouldn't I always have 20V at T? If the thermostat is open wouldn't T to T give 20V and if the thermostat was closed wouldn't I get zero volts? Since I'm not getting either does that mean the transformer is dead? Any other thoughts?
