It's in the Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box (by your left knee).

There are three relays all the way up there, at the top of the box. From left to right, they're the (1) Turn Signal/Hazard Relay, (2) the Cigarette Lighter Relay, and (3) the Rear Window Defogger Relay.

No... no PDFs. But here's a link to a supplier. Your relay is illustration number 21.

This is for a 92 Vig, but I'm pretty sure they're all the same. If you want to doublecheck, you can back up the web page... or ask the parts guy behind the counter.

I have found an underhood defroster relay... a drivers side kick panel fuse box "relay" that is 7.5amp but thats just a fuse.... even though they call it a relay

it must really be up there... I will look again

thanks alot i really appreciate this

In the Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box, all the fuses are bunched together. The three relays are above the fuses. They're in little square-shaped metal cans. The one you want is the one closest to the front of the car. You'll probably have to do some prying to get it out, but they just "plug in/pop out."

Best bet is to use a pair of long-handled needle-nose pliers. Something like this. Or something similar.

Ha! I got my long-handled needle nose -- used -- on eBay for about $10 or $15. Mac, not Snap-on. Still... doesn't Craftsman make 'em?
