FC Power antenna relay test
I think my antenna relay is bad. I'm talking here about the relay that is mounted on the antenna itself, not the added one that reverse polarity.
I've checked the motor and winding mechanism and it is good.
The car loom is OK
When I connect the antenna to the car the motor starts even there is no radio and the car is turned off.
There is some information in the service manual how to check the relay, however the plug on mine is different (8 pin vs 10 pin)
Any ideas how to check or repair it?

Car is a 1989 EDM convertible turbo
However the antenna I'm talking about is from an unknown convertible USDM car.
The strange thing is that the antenna relay is not a green box but a bigger transparent one.
There are 9 wires in the plug (in the one that goes to the relay)

Unplug the 4 wire connector and test the 4 wires and if they test correctly then the issue lies within the relay or quite possibly the ground wire for the relay. Prong C, as denoted in the FSM, is the ground thus there should be continuity between this wire and the body.
