[1000mp] need some advice

With the help of Adam, who determined that a relay in my VL1000 amp may be bad causing the 
automatic tuner to not work.
Although I have fairly good swr on my antennas, I do need the tuner on 80 and 30 meters.

When attempting to use the tuner it beeps, the screen shows no capacitor turning and the 
Error message is displayed.
Adam diagnosed it as a possible faulty relay in the input signal path.

I do not have a service manual nor any rf test equipment.

Before I open it up and start looking, does anyone have a suggestion as to which relay it 
may be and if they are soldered in or mounted in sockets?

Please and thank you.
