Where is the fuel pump relay in a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am?

The fuel pump relay location in a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am isn't standardized across all models (there were variations based on options and engine type). You won't find a universally agreed-upon answer online.

To find it, you'll need to consult your vehicle's specific wiring diagram or a repair manual for your exact year, model, and engine. These manuals usually show the relay locations clearly. They're often found in one of these places, though:

* Under the hood in the fuse box: This is the most common location. The fuse box usually has a cover with a diagram showing the fuse and relay positions.

* Inside the car, usually under the dash: Some relays were located near the steering column or in a separate panel.

To help you narrow your search:

1. Look for a diagram inside the fuse box cover: This is the best starting point.

2. Consult a repair manual: Haynes, Chilton, or a factory service manual for your specific Trans Am will give you precise locations.

3. Search online for your specific year, model and engine: Adding those details to your search might turn up forum posts or other resources from Trans Am owners who've had to locate this relay.

Without this more specific information, I cannot give you a definitive answer. Always remember to disconnect the negative battery cable before working on electrical components.
