To find it, you'll need to consult your vehicle's repair manual or wiring diagram. These will pinpoint the exact location within the underhood fuse box (often labeled the Power Distribution Center or PDC) or sometimes within an interior fuse box.
The best approach:
1. Locate your owner's manual: It might have a fuse box diagram.
2. Find a 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada repair manual: Chilton's or Haynes manuals are good options. These will have detailed diagrams of the fuse box layouts.
3. Search online: Try searching for "1997 Oldsmobile Bravada fuse box diagram" along with any relevant keywords from your owner's manual (like "ignition relay" or the specific name of a relay if listed). Images of fuse box layouts are often available.
General tips when searching:
* Look for relays: Relays are typically smaller square or rectangular components with multiple terminals. They often click when activated.
* Check labels: The fuse box cover might have a diagram indicating the relay's location. Even if not explicitly labeled "ignition relay," it might be listed as something related to the ignition system (e.g., "start," "ignition," or a specific circuit).
Without a proper diagram, it's difficult to give a precise location. Improperly handling relays can damage your vehicle's electrical system, so carefully consulting your vehicle's documentation is crucial.
