GOT IT! FINALLY! It was a combination of a few things related to the RCM - many bad solder points (much more than i originally found - used a microscope this time) and 2 Relays were bad. Thank you all for your input and assistance. Thank you TJ for being there just in case. If anyone else needs help regarding this issue i'll try and assist you as best i can, but i'm sure there are more experienced people on here than I

Thanks again!
