constant to momentary

Ok, that part makes sense about the resistors in series or parallel. But I need to know which way do I need to go to shorten the recovery time? I have 2 10k resistors parallel now, but each time I try to test it again, it hasnt reset yet and I just recharge the caps everytime.

I even tried shorting the caps across for a minute figuring it would drain them right away and it still doesnt reset it. Is that normal?

While sending power to the relay board, I wiggled the components and found that the diode had a loose soldier. Re-soldiering the diode, the relay works like it had at first. Now I am letting it set unpowered to see if 30 minutes will be enough time to reset the caps. Just prior to finding the loose connection, I also removed the 2nd resistor. So I will get a good base reset time with the single resistor and hopefully wont need the other.

But to confirm, will a 5k resistor reset the cap faster than a 10k resistor?  Thanks for being patiant, Im learning.
