There are no relays.  There is a circuit breaker in teh aux relay panel 
(behind that little shelf).  It sounds like there may be a short on an 
"always hot" wire, tripping the breaker sometimes.  I second the motion 
to track down and examine potential borken wires in door jamb bellows 
area.  Can you narrow it down to *one* rear door?
