* Under the hood: The majority of fuses and often some relays will be located in a fuse box under the hood. It's usually a rectangular box, often black plastic, and is easily accessible once the hood is open. Look closely near the battery or along the inner fender well.
* Under the dashboard, on the driver's side: This is where you'll likely find additional fuses and possibly more relays, depending on the car's configuration. This box is usually accessible by removing a small cover or panel. It might be located near the steering column or lower down near the driver's knees.
To find the exact location:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will have diagrams showing the fuse box and relay locations, along with a fuse/relay legend.
2. Look for labels: Even without the manual, the fuse boxes often have labels or diagrams printed on them or nearby.
3. Online resources: Search online for "1985 Buick Skylark fuse box diagram" or "1985 Buick Skylark relay location". You can find diagrams and images that show the locations from other owners.
Remember to be careful when working with electrical components. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on fuses and relays if possible.
