On a 95 its behind the lower dash panel on the passenger side.
There are three usually identical relays .
Likely it's the same.
Check fuses first and have someone listen at the fuel tank when you turn the key on at the inlet or put a gauge on the fuel rail fitting.
I don't have to tell you that the voltage has to be up for your stuff to work right.
Low voltage on these cars causes problems.
Fuel pump is one of the easiest fixes on a vette.
The gauge on the fuel rail will check the regulator too.
A screwdriver pushing the release on the fuel rail fitting won't work very well and can be dangerious.

I'm sure someone will chime in....soon.
Not 100% for sure on the '91 ....should be on the firewall around the drivers' side valve cover. Pop the hood then have someone turn the ignition key to the "run" position (without cranking the starter) while you listen for "click" of the relay to locate it..... you may have to do the several times to locate the relay....relay only stays energized for a few seconds if car is not cranked/started.
Good Luck!

Remove the lower dash pad on the pass side. As you sit in the seat, there are 5 relays between the center console and the Bose reciever. Counting left to right from the console, it should be the third one.
What was/is the problem?

On a 94-96 under the pass side dash, there are 5 relays? What are they? I am trying to trace a start up fuel problem and also a few other issues. This would help.
Thanks!
Thanks!

What is up with you? I took up for you when someone was jacking your thread.
Had you not been a Butt I would have told you which one of the relays it is.
Someone else may look it up in their FSM that they BOUGHT!
I will give you a hint. The info is in this thread.
