Where is the fuel pump relay on 86 iroc?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1986 Camaro IROC-Z is in the underhood fuse block, often referred to as the underhood power distribution center (PDC). It's *not* in the interior fuse box.

However, there isn't a single, universally labeled "fuel pump relay". The relay's function is often integrated into other circuits. You'll likely need to consult a wiring diagram for your specific year and model IROC-Z to find the relay that controls the fuel pump. The diagram will show you which relay is responsible and its location within the underhood fuse block.

To find the correct relay:

1. Obtain a wiring diagram: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your car will have a detailed wiring diagram. You can also sometimes find them online, but be sure the diagram is specifically for a 1986 Camaro IROC-Z.

2. Locate the underhood fuse block: It's typically located near the battery.

3. Identify the fuel pump circuit: The diagram will show the circuit related to the fuel pump and which relay switches it.

4. Trace the relay: Once you've identified the relay in the diagram, locate the corresponding relay in your fuse block. Relays usually have multiple terminals.

Without a wiring diagram, pinpointing the exact relay is difficult and potentially risky. Incorrectly manipulating relays can damage your car's electrical system. Using a wiring diagram is essential for safe and accurate identification.
