Where is the fuel pump relay on a 1998 Chevy Prizm?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1998 Chevy Prizm isn't standardized like some components. It's often found in one of these areas, but you'll need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram specific to your vehicle for the definitive location. These manuals usually have diagrams showing fuse and relay boxes.

Common locations for relays in this model year include:

* Under the hood in the fuse box: This is the most likely place. The fuse box often has a cover with a diagram showing the relay locations.

* Inside the passenger compartment fuse box (if equipped): Some models have a secondary fuse box inside the car, often near the dashboard.

Without your owner's manual or a wiring diagram, visually inspecting both fuse boxes is your best approach. Look for a relay that's labeled "fuel pump" or has a symbol that might indicate a fuel pump (sometimes it's a gas pump symbol). If you're unsure, comparing relays with a similar size and shape to other fuel-related components in the fuse boxes might help.

Important Note: Working with car electrical systems can be dangerous. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with fuses or relays to prevent electrical shocks and short circuits.
