I *think* it is the rearmost, inboard position.

There is a diagram on the lid of the fusebox, with any luck, and also 
the relay numbers are molded into the plastic of the fusebox - of 
course, on the type 89 they are tough to get to, being under the metal 
behind the hood.

I'd truly recommend getting your hands on the Bentley manual if you are 
going to start customising your cars electrical circuits  - I think they 
still turn up reasonably cheaply on ebay.
