Starter Relay

I haven't looked to see where it is yet, but I was wondering where the starter relay was located on my truck. A few times I have tried to start it the starter hasn't engaged, so I am pretty sure it is either the starter relay or in the ignition switch. I'd like to find the relay to see if it needs cleaned, or incase it is in the ignition switch so I can still get it started and not be stranded.


Thanks
Chris

It's mounted on the driver's side fender. It's a standard Bosch-type relay, they are usually under $10.

I bought a "auxiliary light relay" from advance auto parts, going to use it for some lights on a jeep. I went to start my cummins one day, and i had nothing. Looked under the hood, and someone had cut the relay out of my truck..either lucky guess on which one, or they just cut something to mess with me. Anyways, i used my headlight relay, works good as new. Cost 2.89, and it is located on the drivers fender, can't miss it.
