Default Fuel pump relay location?

Where is the relay for the fuel pump on an 86'? I have
looked in the main front fuse panel. There is a fuel pump fuse. I looked in the rear panel. Hmmmm. I purchased a spare in case of trouble but can't find where it goes.

Also, I have a spare dme relay. Do you make the change from the front or rear under the driver's seat?


thanks,

Haynes manual says the DME is accessed by pushing the seat back.

Didn't think the fuel pump had a relay - believe it is fuse No.16 in front compartment.

The fuel pump relay is part of the DME relay. To replace DME relay, slide front seat all the way back. DME relay is held down by one screw. Remove screw, replace relay.

There you go - learn something every day from Rennlist - my '76 doesn't have a DME hence my statement.

Interesting. Pelican Parts sells a fuel pump relay for 75'-89'
911's. I bought a spare just in case and it seems my car
does not have this part.
