starter relay
I searched all over for the location of the relay. Some say above drive side bolster and others right side under glove box. And of course if there are more than 1 relay on the correct side which one is it. I cant find it in the FSM either.
Thanks all

In the past you've asked questions regarding a '93. If you have the FSM it's an easy find. 8A-201-16 for an illustration. The 8A-201 section is invaluable for 'component location' !! Is your FSM paper or a .pdf?

Thanks for your reply! My fsm is paper and well used. I searched relays, starter relay. Just didn't think of components. Dropping that bolster is a real pain but what isn't on this car. I need to replace the relay or bypass it cause vats (which has been bypassed from key and in ecm) is still locking me out most times and hope that works. I asked this forum cause I get a decent reply 99% of the time

In case anyone bothers to read this. I jumped my starter relay and now the car starts every time even with the "security" light steady on. Vats was bypassed at the pcm and at the ignition wires with a resister but was still dead at times and no start

If the engine does not crank it's probably a different problem. What comes to mind is the starter. The solenoid can become intermittent and not energize the starter. It may click or not, but I would definitely check it out to eliminate or not. But I think the starter may be bad.
If the starter is good, I would then look at the neutral switches.
