Hi folks. The ABS light has lit on my 1996 GT so I pulled the code. It is ABS code 61 which is pump motor/pump motor relay. I would like to replace the pump motor relay first, but I can't find it. I've searched the forums for any guidance but am not getting anywhere. Please help if you know where it is. Thanks.

Check the right front corner of the engine compartment, check your drivers manual for the order of relays.
