The location of the relay varies slightly depending on the specific trim and options of your Cavalier. However, it's typically found in one of these locations:
* Under the hood in the fuse box: This is the most common location. The fuse box is usually located near the battery. Consult your owner's manual for a diagram showing the fuse box layout and the location of the fuel pump relay. The relay itself is usually a standard automotive relay, often with a diagram indicating its function.
* Inside the car, under the dashboard: Less common, but some Cavaliers might have it here, usually within a fuse box or relay panel. Again, your owner's manual is your best resource.
To find it:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable way to locate the relay.
2. Look for the fuse box diagrams: Many fuse box covers have diagrams showing the location of relays and fuses.
3. Use an online parts diagram: Websites selling auto parts often have diagrams showing the location of components for your specific vehicle year and model. You'll need your VIN to ensure accuracy.
Caution: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with electrical components to prevent accidental shorts or injury.
