* Under the hood: Check the area near the battery, the fuse box (often there's a separate relay box nearby), and along the inner fender walls. Relays are often mounted on brackets or within a plastic housing.
* Inside the passenger compartment: Some relays, particularly those for interior functions, might be located behind the dashboard, often near the fuse panel under the steering column or glove compartment. Access to these will likely require some disassembly.
To be certain:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. The diagram for fuse and relay locations should be in it.
2. Use a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram for your specific 1989 Chrysler New Yorker (available online from various sources, including some specializing in automotive repair manuals) will show the exact location of each relay. This is essential if you need to replace a specific relay.
3. Visual inspection: With the hood open and carefully checking the areas mentioned above, you should be able to spot the relays; they are usually square or rectangular plastic boxes with multiple wires connected.
Without a diagram specific to your vehicle, pinpointing the exact location of every relay is impossible. The above advice will greatly increase your chances of finding them. Remember to be careful when working near electrical components.
