However, common locations for fuel relays in vehicles from that era include:
* Under the hood, in the fuse box: This is the most likely location. The fuse box often has a cover that can be removed to access the relays. Some are clearly labeled, while others might require referencing a diagram within the owner's manual or a repair manual.
* Inside the passenger compartment, often near the fuse box: Some vehicles place relays in a secondary fuse box inside the car.
To find it without a manual:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the first place to look. It may have a diagram showing relay locations.
2. Look carefully in the under-hood fuse box: Examine the relays closely. Some might be labeled "FUEL PUMP" or have a similar identifier. If not, compare them visually to any diagrams you can find online from similar Chrysler models from that era.
3. Search online for diagrams: Search for "1988 Chrysler New Yorker fuse box diagram" or "1988 Chrysler New Yorker relay location". This might yield a diagram showing the relay locations. Remember images from other model years may not be perfectly accurate.
4. Check for a secondary fuse panel: Some Chrysler vehicles from that era had a secondary fuse box inside the passenger compartment, typically under the dashboard.
Caution: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with electrical components in your vehicle to avoid accidental shorts or injury.
