If I read correctly, this is the underhood fuse block. Should be located on the passenger side of the vehicle, near the firewall. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I replaced my starter yesterday and the sticker on the solenoid stated that I should also replace the Inhibitor Relay at the same time to avoid issues such as clicking / no start (which I am now having)
I am conflicted because there are several relays in the engine compartment that look exactly the same, but all the diagrams I can find online show a different location

See pic also if you have a security system-fac anti theft check this one as it will cause the same problem.
There is a relay on the Blk/Yellow between the Ignition switch and the Inhibit Relay. Up under dash behind fuse panel. I had a intermittent NO Crank (just click) and sometimes slow crank (like weak battery/Hi starter draw) The relay was the problem. it's not in the wiring diagrams. Took me 3 hrs to find, next time 10 mins.

Do you by chance have a part #? I'm at my auto parts store and they cannot cross- reference the part # on the relay

Hey Pauldavman,

Please let us know happens so it will help others.
