fuses where all good, and the amp relay is not right behind the radio. i think i might give up for today and go fishing, thats a no brainer, and more relaxing. any other idea's would be appreciated, thanks for the help.

Remove the lower hush panel on the passenger side. Lay down with your butt in the seat, your feet sticking over the headrest and your head in the floor. On the right side is where the relay will be. If it is the original it will still be attached and if not it will be dangling down. Replace the relay and all should be well.

If you could see through the dash, the relay is just below the bottom left corner of the crash pad. It's mounted to the left side of dash support brace and attached with two 7mm hex screws.
You may just want to reach up through the wiring and unplug relay, pull connector down and plug in a new one. The wire colors to connector are pink, orange, black and pink/black stripe.
