I think your green wire is broken at the door hinge inside the rubber accordion. Like B.C. said. The relays never go bad...

It is a royal pain to repair as there is not enough slack to pull the busted part of the harness back into the door panel. But there is a three-pin connector (red-green-black) under about where the headlight switch is that is the other end of this line. If you disconnect it, you might be able to wiggle the wire out far enough to splice it in the door panel and then shove it back in, but it might be entangled it the loom where all the fuse panel connections are made. If so, then you have to remove the fuse panel and a bit of tarpaper where the door hinge bolts are to get at the harness proper. And when you fix the green wire only, then the speaker wire and red/black wires will be next.

If it worked from the knob to unlock, then it would be the key switch, some of which were built with disintegrating harnesses not limited to the 82-88 years.
