9ca9 error code - lights issue

Hi. I'm having really funky lights issues. Some work, most don't. Scan of the car - FRM is throwing a 9ca9 fault code "Terminal 30A connection faulty". Any advice? I have no idea where terminal 30A is and google hasn't helped much.

Thanks!

The terminal 30g relay is in the junction box in the right footwell. The relay is 1068.

Any recent battery issues, battery disconnection, jump start, or water incursion?

The car is newcto me. Drivers footwell was full of water. Leak fixed. Frm was corroded. Replaced and had vin ported over. Same issues. Battery is new according to previous owner. Looks new. No idea about the history of the battery beyond that. At a loss what to check next.

The FRM reprogramming was faulty and/or the FRM connectors are corroded. Are the 4 FRM fuses behind the passenger kick panel good?

The fuses all seem good. I suspected the connectors might be corroded, but in tests they seemed ok. I asked the guy who did the porting over and he said only the vin info ports over. I have wondered if the programming is corrupted, but i lack the equipment to check that myself

The FRM programming is suspect, but also inspect the FRM connector pins for corrosion and test whether battery voltage from the 4 FRM fuses reaches the FRM connectors.
