It doesn't sound like you need to code anything (just yet) but some basic diagnostics is going to be a good start. Are there any significant codes showing when you query the DME?

Have you pulled the DME and relays back out of the e-box and checked connectors etc.? There are no coincidences when working on cars like this....
