What "light retainer relay"? Not seeing that I'm the FWD.
My LX EWD shows it. Im not sure if your LC has it. There are some threads on here about it.
What ever happened with your radio issue?
I found a speaker had a come that fell out and hanging by wires. Then I thought the wires touching caused it. I glued the cone back in thinking it was fixed.
It still does it. I think it's amp related.
Found the tail light issue. (Friend's 94 LC)
It is the wiring behind the tail light relay. I found it by listening for the relay click (great advice!) When I didn't hear it, I wiggled the relay and it started chattering. Thinking it could still be a bad relay (I swapped it yesterday with a known good one and no change, so reinstalled) we pulled the one from the horn relay and installed it. Still the same chattering. I got it to repeat, then everything stayed on.
So, probably a loose wire or pin I'm the back of the relay block. Will dig into later.
Thanks for the diagnostic info!
(BTW: I found the light retaining relay. It is to hold the headlights on for a moment after shut down. Only in the headlight circuit, not the taillight circuit.)
Great!
On the LX the light retainer relay controls both headlight and tail light relays. Its what allows you to leave your lights on and it shuts them off when you open the door. Its actually a solid state switch not a mechanical relay like the head and tail relays.
