Hello, I also have an 87 and had this exact problem three weeks ago. It turned out to be a corroded ground connection. If you have a Bentley check out the current path for the relays on page 97.106 The bad ground was at 12, you could not tell until I cut the end off the wire was all black and corroded for about an inch. Good luck! J.R.
