How to Replace an Audi S4 Fuel Pump Relay

Most automotive relays plug into a socket, and that's the case for the Audi S4 fuel pump relay. The hardest part of replacing the S4's fuel pump relay lies mainly in finding where it's located. Audi made the S4 for several years, so the location and type of replacement part can vary. Consult your owner's manual for your particular S4 to find the location. But to find a replacement part, simply search any online auto parts distributor for the relay itself.

  Locate your fuel pump relay. Look in your owner's manual. If you can't find the information there, look under the hood for a power distribution box that contains fuses, circuit breakers and relays. The cover should lift off after loosening the snaps. Your fuel pump relay should be marked, or it may be diagrammed on the inside of the cover.
