MCD Power Shade without power

I just got my 2016 Alante 31V back from getting new plugs, and my MCD powered front shade no longer works. I tested the switch and there is no power there from either the chassis or coach batteries (as there normally was). It looks like the 12V power and ground wires for the switch are bundled together and I assume there is a plug or junction somewhere that the engine tech disconnected. Does anyone know where that junction is located? We are headed out for two weeks, and the engine mechanic is 80 miles away, so I really can't take it back to him, and I hate to have to run new power lines if I can help it.

What do you mean "getting new plugs"?

Sorry--spark plugs and a couple of coils. Had some misfires going on. They shouldn't have been anywhere near and coach connections, but somehow the shade was working when I dropped it off, and now the shade switch has no power.

Fixed! The power for MCD comes off a relay above and to the right of the chassis battery. Somehow the engine technician broke the wire off. It is the one with the blue boot and fuse holder.
