Hi there appreciate any help I have a 99 old Aurora with a V-8 engine in it and I’m having some starting issues battery is good I am looking for the starter relay switch is my next check cannot find the location it’s not in any of the fuse box panels if anyone can give me some direction to look I would greatly appreciate it

Not sure about the starter relay. Probably under the dash somewhere as a guess. What are symptoms? (ie turn the key and 1 click?, no clicks? etc, does it try to crank at all?) Any security light? One time my car was a non-start and it was because the ground cable had worked its way off of the starter under the intake.


There was a thread that showed how to test the starter by jumping power to it but unfortunately it looks like the pictures are no longer working

Then this thread on how to change the starter if you end up needing it

I know you say battery is good, but have you tried jump starting anyways? I've had batteries that test good and end up having a dead cell

Great job with the diagram Paul.

Yep if it's by the LCM then it is under the dash on the left of the column. LCM I believe is a flat shaped black module with a purple label on it. The BCM and LCM share a bracket and looks like the relay is attached there too. Almost 15 years with these cars and I still learn something new about them frequently haha.
