You need to add in the FI information from chapter 4, figure 10-2. 
This shows all the FI information.

J16 is the FI main power relay located under the back seat, LHS.

J17 is item 15 on Fig. 10-2, that is the FI fuel pump relay, located 
on the firewall, just up and to the left of where the steering column 
passes through the firewall.

Sorry, I don't remember the colors, but factory wires have a nicely 
crimped connector on them that can't be duplicated.

Is this just three in-line splices fastened together? I don't 
remember any like that under the dash.

Not sure what you mean here. If you should have said "left" (left is 
left) then it might lead to the horn.

Start by just pulling off the outside handle. That's much easier. 
Just remove the large Phillips-head screw in the door jamb, push the 
handle 1/4" forward, and pull it out. You may see the problem then. 
If MAY be useful to pull off the right handle for comparison.
