Hi...I have been reading past questions and answers regarding the relay for the fuel pump location and style. Seems like it should be either behind the fuse box (which it is not) or in the right kick panel above fuse box for a left hand drive car. I have found 2 "ice cube" 001 542 02 19 and the larger relay for the rear window defrost on the SLC in the right kick panel. I thought I would find a larger black relay with 6 pins but not in this vicinity. So, any euro owners have a different location I should try?!
Thanks,
Eric

Mine is one of the "ice cube" relays. The wiring diagram listed the wire colors connected to fuel pump relay which pinpointed which one it is. I just had to remember SWartz is black and RoT is red.:)

Large plastic fuel pump relay started well after 1979 I believe, but was probably in place for the 380 motors. I would expect your FPR to be an ice cube aluminum body relay in the relay panel you should find above the fuse panel after removing both the passenger kick panel and then the cardboard around the fuse panel. That’s what I’d expect.
