You might not want to permanently connect the WHT/BLK and BLU/WHT wires as you show in your diagram. Without having them separated by relays, you can't open them up as required for the OFF position.

You can run set it up so that the upper left relay connects the WHT/BLK to WHT/RED in ACC or ON position, and the next relay connects WHT/BLK to BLU/WHT when in ON position. (Don't connect WHT/BLK and BLU/WHT as you were planning)

Use diodes to isolate the feeds into the relay controls so they energize only when needed:

RELAY #1 would be connected to the ACC control, and #2 connected to the ON switch control, but add a diode between the two relay coil inputs with the stripe towards relay #1, so that the ON control will turn on both relays, but the ACC control will only turn on the first relay, with the diode blocking the second one from coming on.

You can work out something similar for the other connections.

so the way you're explaining it makes sense....i would have to add one more relay though right? for the yellow wire? regardless, i'll be working on another diagram to correct all my other mistakes.

For what I was describing, you don't need another relay, you're just controlling the relays differently. Think of the WHT/BLK as the common for the two relays, and the other two wires being connected to it through the two relays. The relays just need to be controlled so they only come on when needed, not always together.
