Hi,

The starter relay will be located in the under-hood fuse/relay box. If you look at the two pics below, that is the wiring schematic for the starter circuit. I had to cut it in half to make it readable for you, but I did overlap the two so you can follow from one to the next.

Also, if you are having starter issues, take a look through this link. You may find it helpful.

I looked in my manual for the specific location of the relay and it isn't indicated. However, there should be a label on the underside of the fuse box indicating what each component is for.

If you suspect a problem with the relay, switch it with one that has the same part number. If there isn't one, here is a link that explains how to test a relay.

Let me know what is happening. Hopefully, I'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Take care,

Joe
