Where is the fuel relay located on a 2.0L turbo Eagle Talon?

The fuel relay location on a 2.0L turbocharged Eagle Talon (specifically the Mitsubishi Eclipse/Galant VR-4 platform it shares) isn't standardized across all years and models. The location can vary slightly. It's usually found in one of these places:

* Under the hood, in the fuse box: This is the most common location. The fuse box is typically located near the battery, often under a plastic cover. You'll need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram specific to your year and model to identify the fuel pump relay. It's usually labeled, but sometimes you'll need to trace wires.

* In the passenger compartment fuse box (less common): Some models might place it inside the car, often under the dashboard. Again, a wiring diagram is crucial.

To find it, you should:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best starting point. It should have a diagram of the fuse box(es) showing the relay locations.

2. Use a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram for your specific year and model will clearly show the fuel pump relay and its location. You can often find these online through forums dedicated to Mitsubishi vehicles or through repair manual websites (like Haynes or Chilton).

3. Visually inspect the fuse boxes: Once you've located the fuse boxes, carefully examine the relays. Some might be labeled "Fuel Pump," "EFI," or have a similar designation. If not labeled, you can use a multimeter or test light to identify it by testing continuity to the fuel pump circuit. Caution: Always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before doing any electrical testing.

Without knowing the exact year of your Eagle Talon, providing a more precise location is impossible. Remember to always consult your vehicle's specific documentation for the most accurate information.
