* Under the hood in the Power Distribution Center (PDC): This is the most common location. The PDC is usually a large black box containing fuses and relays. It's often located near the battery, but its exact position can vary slightly. Consult your owner's manual (if you have it) for a diagram of the PDC. The relay itself might be labeled, or you might need to trace wires to identify it.
* Inside the passenger compartment fuse box: Less common for the fuel pump relay, but possible on some models. This fuse box is usually located under the dashboard, often near the driver's side. Again, your owner's manual should have a diagram.
To find it, you'll need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual should have a diagram showing the location of the fuse and relay boxes and what each relay controls.
2. Look for diagrams online: If you don't have the owner's manual, search online for "1993 Chrysler Town & Country fuse box diagram" or "1993 Chrysler Town & Country fuel pump relay location." Various forums and repair sites might have this information, but always double-check the accuracy with respect to your specific engine and trim level.
3. Use a multimeter: If you can't find a diagram, you could use a multimeter to test relays in the fuse boxes. Locate the fuel pump wire (usually a high-gauge wire leading to the fuel tank) and check which relay activates when the ignition is turned on. Caution: Be careful working with automotive electrical systems.
Important Note: Before working with any electrical components, always disconnect the negative terminal of your battery to prevent short circuits. Misidentifying and replacing the wrong relay could damage your vehicle's electrical system. If you are unsure about any step, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic.
