No power to Aux relay

[dmc4087]

Hi

I'm not getting any power to the heavy brown wire to my aux relay, with the ignition on.

I just noticed a problem when my radio stopped working which takes power from this.

Can anyone tell me what I should look for?

Thanks

That brown wire disappears into the loom. The connections at the bulkhead look fine, they werent messed with.

All brown wires get power 100% of the time, not based off of the ignition switch. In your picture, thats not your Aux relay. Your looking at the circuit breaker for the door locks. Its had a few additions added to it other than the locks. The Aux relay is under the metal tray. Which one is it for sure that is not working? Somewhere within the harness should be a factory crimp that ties a bunch of different brown wires together. That is probably where the problem is assuming other brown wires are still getting power. To fix it all wires would need to be cut off and re-crimped.

The radio should have two "extra" fuses, one off of fuse #17 (hot all times), and one off of fuse #11 (hot with key on), most likely the problem....

If the brown wire in the pic is actually dead, IIRC, it runs to the alternator output terminal (but, as mentioned, it should be unrelated...)
(You can forget the bulkhead connectors for it since they only have one solid brown wire which goes to the alternator field, unless cut per a service bulletin.)

As stated, all the brown wires should be always 12 volts with or without the key on. The juntion is behind the back board with all those brown wires soldered onto a lug that goes to the bulkhead.

You would need to remove the back board and look at that soldering for a broken joint.
