Fuel pump relay location. I had been driving my car every day for the past 2 years. Then in the past 2 weeks I started driving a company vehicle. Then on the weekend I went to start my vehicle, and it would crank over but not start. I watched some videos of others with the same issue, and it turned out to be the relay. Now I would like to locate it to change it. Thank you for any help and it would be greatly appreciated.

Well the relay is in the smart fuse box under the hood on the left side. Pump power comes through fuse 48. However, I suspect it isn't the issue. What I commonly find in a situation of a vehicle being driven, then parked and having a problem is rodent damage. The vehicle sets long enough that they make it a home and will chew on the wiring. As such the first thing I would do is open the hood and look around areas that the wiring runs and look for droppings and damage.
