The main power relay is under the back seat, screwed to the inside of 
the top rail of the kick panel behind the driver's side. There are 2 
relays there, this is the larger one. The voltage regulator is much 
larger and is all the way to the left side, kind of on top of the 
inside of the rocker panel.

The fuel pump relay is screwed to the firewall, just up and left of 
where the steering column passes thru. It is exactly the same part as 
the main power relay.

The first thing you should do to check them is to get in the car and 
turn the key ON. You should hear a relay click and then a second 
click about 1 second later. Between these 2 clicks you, or someone 
listening for you next to the RF tire, should hear the fuel pump 
whirr. You can turn the key OFF and back ON as many times as you like 
to repeat this test.

If you hear both clicks, then both relays are working, at least 
somewhat.

Let us know what you hear, then we can take it from there. And remind 
me of what your symptoms are.
