Hello,

The starter relay is located on the fuse box left side of the dash (see diagrams below). I have also included all of the fuse block diagrams for your reference.

Hi,

There is a starter relay. It's located under the dash on the left (driver's side). First, I attached the starting system schematic for your vehicle. There was only one pic, but I had to cut it in half to make it readable. I did overlap it so you can follow from one to the next.

The next pics show the location of the relay.

If you suspect the relay is bad, here is a link that explains how to test one.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
