I'll switch the relay sides but could the relay just be bad?

Also, the 2nd relay has a purple wire, blue wire & red wire (in 2 places on the relay). The purple & blue are supposed to attached to the pink/white wire on the ignition harness. How do I wire this up?

I found this (this matches the way the relay is setup. I changed the 30 colors to match mine):

85: 2nd ignition output wire from brain

86 & 87 : 12 volt constant fused at 30 amps

30 : pink/white wire on Truck

87a: NOT USED

There is not a 2nd ignition output wire coming from the brain, so what do I do with this wire?

Update:

I switched the starter wires around and its working now. I also wired up the second ignition. I wired 85 up to the 1st ignition wire from the ignition harness. Everything seems to be working except the fact that the Secondary ignition accessories are now always on. Am I supposed to wire this somewhere else and not to the 1st ignition wire?

I removed power from 86 and not the secondary ignition does not stay on. However, I don't seem them come on until the key is in the on position. Is the correct? Can I get some help with this?

Thanks!

The 2nd ignition relay was already prewired on this brain, all that needed to be done was to toggle the relay with the appropriate wire. If I were you I would stop now and take it to a shop and have it finished up to ensure safe operation of your vehicle.

No one works on compustar alarms in my area. No one will touch it. I'm on my own here.

The 2nd relay is prewired to the brain. I installed the relay like I mentioned above but it was supplying constant power to the accessories. I don't believe this is normal. I'm stuck with doing this on my own. I guess since no one can tell me how to wire this relay I'm just gonna have to experiment.

Thanks anyways...
