Sorry but you posted that bloody picture with the heading "under the hood" so how was I to bloody well know.
I haven't worked on a Pathfinder in years, all the Japanese except the RX Lexus were killed off years ago in Europe by assorted X Series BMWs and their Land Rover cousins.

I posted the pic to show you that the only place the word "ignition" referred to was for those relays. It's all good. I appreciate the help.

And "bloody" is the only word I can use that isn't censored by the mods!
You should hear my language when I get angry.
What surprises me is that most Japanese have an under hood and an internal fuse box.
If this were a Honda, the first place I would look is under the hood, the whole ignition switch assembly is fused there and that's general practice these days, my English Rover is the same, the fuses box under hood has a 100 amp to feed the fascia fuses box and a 60 amp to feed the ignition.
Come to think of it my 2000 Nissan AND my 99 Mits. had both as well and logically so should yours.
The point is the only thing stopping a relay working is the fused power and switch supplies.
It's very easy to test a relay, either by pulling it and testing the coil and power input, then if that's OK, loop the input and outputs together, if that works it's the relay.
I would pay close attention to the ignition switch.

Put the test light back in the tool box and use the Meter.

On a 94 Pathfinder? I bloody disagree, test light is far quicker.

I agree that a test light is faster when using it to verify wires. Troubleshooting with a test light, not near as thorough.

Ok, I re-tested the ignition switch wires, because I realized that I needed to test the b/y wire with the ignition in the start position instead of the on position. When I did that, the light on the test light was nice and bright. I'm at a loss right now, because the truck still won't start and the warning lights will not come on.aftermarket or factory alarm? - Page 6 -- posted image.

So what is the final outcome of the wires? Give me exactly what happens with each wire and key position... I'm at a loss of what is giving what for voltage.
