* Under the hood in the Power Distribution Box (PDB): This is the most common location. The PDB is usually located near the battery, often a black plastic box. The relay itself will be either labeled, or you may need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram to identify it. Look for a relay labeled "Fuel Pump" or something similar.
* Inside the passenger compartment fuse box: Less common but possible. This fuse box is usually located under the dash, on the driver's side. Again, you'll need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram to pinpoint the correct relay.
To find it definitively:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual will have a diagram showing the location of all fuses and relays.
2. Use a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram (often found online through a repair manual or automotive parts websites) will show you the exact location and circuit path of the fuel pump relay.
3. Visual inspection: Carefully examine both fuse boxes (under the hood and under the dash). Look for relays that look similar in size and shape to other relays in the boxes.
Remember to turn off the ignition before working with any fuses or relays. If you are unsure about working on your car's electrical system, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic.
