What do you mean that you "pulsed the relays and it sparks. The relay coils are supplied voltage and ground by the two wire plug. The B/W wire should have voltage w/key to on. The Black wire is the ground. If either wire is problematic it could cause your problem.

The other plug has four wires. Bridging B/G to B/Y and White/Blue to B/W it will bypass the relay, but over time I suppose this would drain the battery.
