Swap the relays around and see if that solves THAT problem. If so you have found a bad relay.

You may have to use some pliers (carefully) but they just pull out.

Good Luck

i switched out a few relays and checked fure #21 but nothing as of yet..from what i found is the pervious owner had a aftermarket alarm system installed and then removed it when it he traded it in....i think has something to do with that...it appears the system was taken out professional and all the connections i can see were done right...gonna do some research how to test a relay to see if its good or bad

also the hood liner is gone..and i think its due to the k&n filter syetem was rubbing the hood liner...new one is on order...so there is no hood light ..would having no hood light render the system not to work?
