Anyone know the location of the Dimmer relay. Just pick one up from the dealer, now I have to figure out which one it is.

thanx do I need to take the headlight/turn signal switch apart or should the relay just be hanging in that area?

BTW I thought the relay was with the ones in front of the car in the engine bay!!

Front of the radiator with the other relays. I THINK it's the most inboard relay. No time to go look at the FREE, ONLINE, FSM, BODY ELECTRICAL SECTION.

P.S. I bet the switch is the bad actor.

The 87fsm shows it to be the most inboard relay in front of the radiator area.
