What relay in a 98 Chevy s10 is the fuel glove box?

There's no relay in a 1998 Chevy S10 specifically called a "fuel glove box relay". The fuel pump is controlled by a relay, but it's not located in the glove compartment. The location of the fuel pump relay varies slightly depending on the engine and options, but it's typically found in the underhood fuse box or, less commonly, in a separate relay center.

To find the fuel pump relay, you should:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. It will show you a diagram of your fuse and relay boxes and identify the fuel pump relay.

2. Check the underhood fuse box: This is the most likely location. The fuse box cover usually has a diagram showing the location of each fuse and relay. Look for a relay labeled "fuel pump," "EFI," or something similar. Sometimes the diagram uses a symbol instead of a name.

3. Look for a separate relay center: Some S10s might have a smaller relay center located elsewhere in the engine compartment.

4. Use a wiring diagram: If you can't find it using the above methods, you can search online for a wiring diagram specific to your 1998 Chevy S10's engine (e.g., 4.3L V6, 2.2L 4-cylinder). This will show you the relay's location and circuit.

Important Note: Working with automotive electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable working on your vehicle's electrical system, it's best to take it to a qualified mechanic.
