One other quick check you can easily do if the car is in a quiet place, is to
listen when you turn the key ON. You should hear a relay click when the key
goes ON and a second relay click about 1 second later.
If you have questions about whether this is happening correctly, look under
the back seat, on the driver's side. Mounted on the top rail, there will be 2
relays, each mounted with a single screw. One of them has a ground wire
under that screw head. Make SURE that screw is tight. That's the ground for
the main power relay coil.
