While there isn't a single relay labeled "fuel pump," the fuel pump *is* controlled through a relay that's part of the overall system. This relay is usually located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), often called a fuse box, which is typically under the hood. The exact location and labeling within the PDC varies slightly depending on the engine (2.7L, 3.2L, 3.5L) and options of your specific Intrepid.
To find the relevant relay:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is your best resource. It should have a diagram of the PDC showing the location of all relays and fuses.
2. Locate the Power Distribution Center (PDC): It's usually a large black plastic box under the hood, often near the battery.
3. Check the PDC diagram (either in your manual or online): Look for a relay associated with the fuel pump or the PCM. It might be labeled "Fuel Pump Relay," "Engine Control Relay," or something similar. The diagram will show its location within the PDC.
4. If you can't find it directly labeled: Many online forums specific to 1997 Dodge Intrepids can provide more detailed information and images showing the relay location. Search for "1997 Dodge Intrepid fuel pump relay location" (along with your engine size if possible).
Important Note: Working with car electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable doing this, it's best to have a qualified mechanic handle it. Incorrectly working with the fuel system can be a fire hazard.
