After replacing the battery, fuses started blowing. I gave a new gem ordered but I need to make sure the battery saver relay isn't bad first. Located what I thought was it behind steering wheel, but need specifics to make sure I have the correct relay before ordering a replacement.

Hi,

I went through the wiring schematics. I found there are two possible locations based on options. If the vehicle has the power equipment package, it will be behind the dash to the right of the steering column. If it only has rear anti-lock brakes, it is mounted in the main wiring harness at the RABS module.

I attached a pic of both options.

Let me know if this helps,

Joe

Hi,

Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not a genius. LOL I'm glad you found what you were looking for.

As far as a different question, if it is related to the same topic, just ask it here. If it deals with something different, start a new post. We ask people to do that, so it is more helpful to others. I hope you understand. If that is the case, here is the link to start a new one:
