Locate where the trouble starts to show up.....

jwakil,

This is how I would do the electrical troubleshooting in your case:
1). With the IS (ignition switch) @ ON/RUN position (not start) test pin #10 for power using a simple test light.
2). Plug or connect the socket type connector (#10) from the engine side harness. You could do it in many different ways: a). Use a 6" long wire jumper between pin #10 and socket #10. or b). Remove the #10 socket from the connector assembly. Be carefull not to dislodge the other sockets.
3). With the socket plugged directly or with a suitable wire jumper to the pin, test for power at the 'socket' side. And continue up to the other side of the harness for the WUR. It will tell you where the trouble starts.

It could be poor contact or an open line for #10 (red/white). This should be a very simple task for you to achieve. And to determine the FP's problem would be the same technique as above but a lot simplier. Detail later if you're interested. Keep us posted.
