Where are the relays on the 850

    Specifically, the cruise control relay for a '94 850 Turbo Wagon.

    I've found the ones near the fuses and under the dash but, from what I can
    tell, it is none of these.

    TIA,

    In the main electrical box near the brake booster and left strut tower
    is a bunch of relays under a cover. There are 2 "double size" relays -
    the one marked 101 and 102 is the cruise relay.

    If your cruise is not working, try it while pulling up on the brake
    pedal with your foot (clutch pedal too if so equipped). Also look at
    the connections and vacuum line to the pump which is mounted to the
    bottom of the battery tray.

    I've done all those good things already. Also got another pump since the first
    one had a bit of a leak from acid at the o-ring.

    There just doesn't seem to be any juice getting to the pump (well, about .7
    volts). ALL fuses are checked/good. The line from the pump the the throttle
    holds a vac; all cruise self-tests are fine, too - even the ones that check the
    equipment (brake pedal and CC/directional setup).

    I trust I can get a replacement relay at Autozone. Going out today for it. . .

    Thanx again!
