but there is no behind the relay, it sits in a cup like a beer cuzy
the pink wire is ok, it just looks that way because its scorched from the ground wire that melted, some idiot (me) forgot to disconnect the battery and when I tighten the nut on the relay the lead turned and touched the main power bar which is why it has extra tape on it now because the grey sleeve on it melted too. I ohmed it out to be sure and the pink wire is in perfect shape it just has some of the ground wire melted onto it discoloring it. the ground wire was black and I replaced it with the white #10 wire you see in the pictures. there is a;lso a small scorch mark on the blue wire where it goes into the top relay but its just flash scorched.
I also checked the relay plugs under the ecm module and they are all clean and tight with no oxidation or corrosion.
I swaped the green and blue leads and it still goes up but not down "sometimes". this happens with the control switch or the remote switch so I have rulled out the switches and I also ran a new battery wire for other reasons so that's been eliminated and I disconnected all connections to find everything was clean and no corrosion so I ruled out bad connections.
I ohmed the relays and haven't found a problem so all I can think of is one of the relays is making enough contact to see contact and read voltage but not allow amperages to flow which happens with relay contacts sometimes.
I have fairy decent mechanical background and good electrical troubleshooting background after 35 years fixing a/c units so im capable to do anything you suggest but I think I covered all the bases short of replacement of the relays so I bought the used ones to limit my outlay of money in case that's not it.
also I bought a brand new $1200 PTT assembly for the motor last year thinking the motor was going out and that was the problem but obviously that wasn't the problem.
