Default HELP! Relay question.

I did a relay check with the relays in the box under the hood. I found out that to check those with a "light meter", you turn the key to "on" and then remove the relay and two of the four connections that the relay slides into must "light up" when you touch it. Well, two of my relays didn't respond correctly. They were the ABS relay and the ST relay. Anyone have any idea what the ST relay does? Or can anyone tell me which relay(s) are for the door locks, power windows and seat adjustment? Can I get these from an auto store versus the stealership? Thanks!

Unless you want your airbags to deploy they wouldn't have any power.

The relay for the air bags likely only has power when they are supposed to deploy, in an accident.
