Thanks to all who replied pointing out that Bentley did, indeed, show this.
Not in the index that I found but definitely in the text.

Didn't matter.  Relay was good per David B's instructions so the wire to the
engine battery was suspect.  And it was bad so I put in another wire.
Figuring out which one was the right one to pull out was more than I was
willing to do.  Usual wire pulling technique.

Thanks again to the wisdom of the list.

Mike
