Where exactly can I find the starter relay on a 1994 +8? Thanks.

It ought to be not far from starter itself as the piggy back solenoid takes a fair current. Trace the thinner wire from this solenoid (should be red/white) and it will take you to the relay.

On the early Roadster they are behind the dash on the drivers side at the top of the bulk head. Your might be similar

The relay should be under the bonnet, on the offside, just screwed to the bulkhead, up above the starter motor/brake master cylinder. about the same height level as the steering column. In my case its just a standard black plastic cased relay.

Thanks for that Mike, spot on. Mine is a black relay as well. 👍
