[V8] starter relay (was back-up light switch)

[Tony and Lillie]

All of the relays are on the passenger side. The main ones are in the 
fusebox behind the passenger side kick panel. It's held in place by plastic 
nuts just like the corner taillight covers. There is the other set which 
you've found under the carpet. That's where the manual lists the starter 
relay. I sent you all that info in another email, but you may not have 
recieved it. I'll see if I still have that one in my sent box.

BTW, there is one other relay panel, in the passenger side dash. But, that's 
nothing you need. I seem to recall that being for airbag and alarm stuff.
