After checking online Advance Auto Parts was the only one who listed a starter relay for this car.They do not show it on computer at store (only on website).It is mounted to radiator crossmember above the fan, you can trace the wires directly to the starter.Turned out ground wire from relay to crossmember was broken inside wire insulation causing intermittent failure to crank starter.Installed new end on wire and all is back to normal.By the way Olds dealer parts dept. also stated this car did not use a starter relay when it clearly has one.I hope this helps someone else as it was a pain to find problem.
It doesn't show up in the computer, and the dealer says it doesn't have a relay, because originally it didn't. The relay was installed as part of a recall. Trying to crank the engine for too long or leaving the key in the on position would cause the ignition switch wires to overheat, melting the wires and potentially setting the car (and you) on fire.

My 1996 Ford Ranger only clicks when the key is turned could it be the starter and where is it found?
It can be a dead battery, or a bad starter, the click sound you hear is from the starter relay mounted on the inner fender near the battery, use a test lite and make sure power is coming out of the relay and going to the starter, always replace both the starter and relay if either is found to be bad
Does a 1996 Pontiac Trans Am have a starter relay?
Yes it does, if it needs to be replaced i suggest going to your local auto parts store and buying one, this will give you an idea of what your looking for. There are two other relays that look exactly like this one and they are all located up against the fire wall. The Starter relay and the Fan relay are located on the drivers side. The Fan relay is the one closer to the fender and the Starter relay farther.
How do you change starter relay on 1996 Cadillac Eldorado?
On a 1996 Cadillac Deville the starter relay or starter enable relay is located under the hood on the drivers side. Remove the black plastic cover that encloses the fuses and relay center. There are several relays in there. You are looking for the relay that has a Red 10 gage wire, a Yellow 10 gage wire, a 16 gage Yellow with Black stripe, a 10 gage Purple wire. Locate this relay unplug wire and plug it into your new relay. I have been told that the relay is a dealer item. The parts stores say that it is a square gray, four prong relay but, this is not true, wrong part. If you have a volt meater test your wires, the red 10 gage wire should have 12 volts with the key on. The 10 gage Yellow wire should have 12 volts in the crank position. The 16 gage wire yellow with black is a ground in the crank position. The 10 gage purple goes to the starter if you use a jumper wire and conect the red to the purple the starter should crank. Hope this will help good luck !
