Just so, where is the starter relay located?
In most vehicles, the ignition relay is located in the long black box of your vehicle that you can find under the hood. The box usually has a diagram on it which will help you easily locate the ignition relay inside it once you open it up. The box is also called the fuse box.
One may also ask, what happens when your starter relay goes out? If your starter relay has gone bad, the electrical signal will never make it from the battery to the starter motor. As a result, your engine won't turn over - no matter how many times you turn the key. A faulty relay often produces an audible clicking sound when you turn your car.
Moreover, what are the symptoms of a bad starter relay?
Here are some symptoms of a bad or failing starter relay
- Vehicle does not start.
- Starter stays on after engine started.
- Intermittent issues starting the vehicle.
- Clicking sound coming from the starter.
Is it the starter or starter relay?
Most often, a true starter relay is a small black cube plugged into an electrical fuse/relay box in the engine compartment, whereas a starter solenoid is (in most cases) attached directly to the starter on the engine (although it is sometimes located elsewhere in the engine compartment).
