Where is the fuel pump relay located on a 1996 Buick century?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1996 Buick Century isn't standardized across all models (different trim levels might have slight variations). It's usually found either in the underhood fuse box (power distribution center) or in the interior fuse panel (located inside the car, often under the dashboard).

To find it, you need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual will have a diagram showing the location of all relays and fuses.

2. Check the underhood fuse box: Open the hood and locate the main fuse box. The cover usually has a diagram showing the location of each fuse and relay. Look for a relay labeled "Fuel Pump" or something similar (it might be abbreviated). Sometimes it's labeled with a specific circuit number rather than a descriptive name.

3. Check the interior fuse panel: If you can't find it under the hood, check the interior fuse panel. The location varies depending on the model, but it's often under the dashboard on the driver's side. Again, look for a diagram on the fuse box cover.

4. Use a wiring diagram: If you still can't find it, a wiring diagram specific to your 1996 Buick Century will show the location of the fuel pump relay and its circuit. You can often find these diagrams online (be sure to specify your exact engine size and trim level) or at an auto parts store.

Important Note: Before working on any electrical components, always disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits.
