Where is your fuel pump relay on 1985 Pontiac Fiero gt 2.8 V6?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT 2.8 V6 isn't standardized in a single easily accessible spot like a fuse box. It's often integrated into a larger relay center or under the dash. You'll need to consult your car's wiring diagram (a shop manual will be invaluable here) to pinpoint its exact location.

To find it, you'll likely need to:

1. Consult a Repair Manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT 2.8L will have diagrams showing the relay locations. This is the most reliable method.

2. Check Under the Dash: Many relays are located in a panel under the steering wheel or dashboard. Look for a group of relays and fuses. Sometimes there's a diagram on the cover of the relay panel itself.

3. Check the Engine Compartment (Less Likely): While less common, some relays might be in a less accessible area within the engine bay. Again, a wiring diagram is essential to avoid wasting time.

4. Trace the Wiring: If you're mechanically inclined, you could locate the fuel pump wire coming from the engine harness and trace it back to where it connects to the relay. This is the most time-consuming method, but effective if you have the tools and patience.

Caution: Always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before working with electrical components to prevent short circuits and injury.
