i pulled up the DEI document 1500 and it has the ignition setup a little odd. its hard to describe it but theres a diode across 86 and the (-) ignition wire in the ribbon harness and thats in series with the ignition wire in the car.

Relays huh.... try doing a Rolls Royce. Everything is negative. The one I worked on had a relay bank that The Fishman would be in awe about. At least 50 relays behind the glove box.
