Default Drivers right knee relay.. 81?

I have located something electrical which is to the right of the drivers right knee, under the ashtray area...looks like I think a relay might look inside, about an inch cubed It was taped with a black plastic cover that doesn't fit it...4 wires, has three connectors. Sorry, I don't have a working camera...
Thanx :confused:

I belive that is where you hook up to get the Diagnostic codes from the Computer.

The choke heater relay is under there too. It is about an inch cube with a 3 pin connector (4 wires, 2 go to one pin) Mine is an ugly green colored plastic.

Nope...I found that today by accident when I hit the bottom of the ashtray, it popped out and ..voila'...there was the diagnostic slot I have seen pix of...But the other post may be it...choke heater relay...at least the schematic wiring looks the same. Schematics don't tell where things are located, but I think that's it. Thanx... :yesnod:

stevo, i'm with stickboy. i think it's your choke relay. i think there is also an alarm relay under there but i'd bet what your looking at is the choke relay.
