'85FC31 Security Light issue... need help!

[pattypape]

With all the security lights turned ON,
Headlights, highbeams, docking light, rear backup lights,

especially the grounds. Then remove(unplug) the relay.
all will work with this relay removed.
It is a small clear plastic see thru square relay,
on our 88 FC it is located in the storage area above the bed on the
rear.
