However, the most common places to check are:
* In the fuse box under the hood (bonnet): This is the most likely location. The fuse box usually has a diagram on the inside of the cover showing the location of relays and fuses. Look for a relay that is labeled as fuel pump, fuel system, or something similar. Sometimes it's not explicitly labeled.
* In the passenger compartment fuse box: While less common for the fuel pump relay itself, some EA Falcons may have related relays here controlling aspects of the fuel system.
To find it reliably:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best starting point. The manual will show the location of the fuse and relay boxes, and ideally, a diagram identifying the components.
2. Check online forums: Search online forums specific to EA Falcons (e.g., Ford Falcon forums, Australian car forums). Members may have posted pictures or discussions about locating their fuel pump relay. Be sure to specify the year of your EA Falcon.
3. Trace the wiring: This is the most involved option. If you're comfortable with basic auto electrical work, you could trace the wiring from the fuel pump back towards the fuse boxes to find the relay. However, this requires knowledge of electrical safety and automotive wiring.
Remember to always disconnect the negative terminal of your battery before working on any electrical components to prevent accidental short circuits.
