Hello,

The Starter Relay is located behind the left hand side of the instrument panel. Above the instrument panel fuse block (see diagram).

Hi,

The relay is located in the vehicle and under the dash (driver's side). It is above the fuse box.

I attached the entire wiring schematic below for the starting system in the event you needed them as a reference.

Here are two links you may find helpful:

Also, there is a 60 amp fuse in the under hood fuse box. Make sure to check it as well. It is fuse number 2. In addition to checking the fuse, confirm there is power to and from them.

Pic 2 shows the fuse location in the right-hand under hood fuse box. Pic 3 shows the starter relay location. It will be near the parking brake pedal and above the fuse box.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
