Finding the Relay on a Subaru Justy
The relay on a Subaru Justy can be located in different places depending on the specific model and year. However, it is typically found in the fuse box under the hood. The relay is usually a small black rectangular or square-shaped box, and the specific location can be identified by lifting the top of the fuse box and looking inside for the layout or diagram of the relays.
If you are having trouble locating the relay, it’s recommended to consult the vehicle’s manual for detailed information on the specific location of the relay in your Subaru Justy.

How do I know if my starter relay or solenoid is bad?
If the starter engages but does not disengage when you let go of the key, the solenoid is likely bad and the starter may suffer significant damage as a result. Sometimes your car starts, sometimes it doesn’t. Intermittent operation can be a sign of a failing starter solenoid.
What are the symptoms of a bad relay?
A bad main relay will sometimes lead to your vehicle not running for very long. If you’re able to start the vehicle, it might stop running in a matter of seconds or minutes. The engine will stop running, and your vehicle won’t move or start.
Where is fuel relay switch located?
Find the fuel pump relay in your vehicle’s fuse box.
The main fuse box is usually located underneath the hood near the front of your vehicle, but there may be a smaller fuse box under the steering column inside your vehicle as well.
Will a car start with a bad relay?
The starter relay not only completes the electrical circuit, but it also boosts the battery’s current. If your starter relay has gone bad, the electrical signal will never make it from the battery to the starter motor. As a result, your engine won’t turn over – no matter how many times you turn the key.
What happens if your fuel pump relay goes bad?
If the relay fails slowly, then you might notice engine performance symptoms over time. For instance, as the fuel pump relay begins to falter, its ability to power the fuel pump dampens, which can lead to engine stalling when the engine cannot receive enough fuel for combustion.
What is the most common problem found with a relay failure?
The two most common failure mechanisms of relays are contamination and mechanical wear of the internal switching elements discussed as follows: a. Contamination is a major cause of early life failures.
Can I drive with a bad relay?
If the relay failed closed (on), the fuel pump will work fine, but it will stay on constantly and eventually drain the battery, at which point you will end up with a no start. If the relay is intermittently working, you may or may not be able to get the engine started and it may or may not stay running.
Where is my relay located?
The ignition relay (when equipped) is typically found inside the vehicle’s fuse box. It can be located using the diagram on the fuse box cover. The location of the ignition relay often depends on the vehicle’s make and model.
What happens when a relay goes out?
If the relay fails it will cut off power to fuel pump and ignition system, which will result in a no power, and therefore no start condition. You may find that turning the key may power on the accessories, and may even crank the engine.
What happens when a relay switch goes bad?
If your starter relay has gone bad, the electrical signal will never make it from the battery to the starter motor. As a result, your engine won’t turn over – no matter how many times you turn the key. A faulty relay often produces an audible clicking sound when you turn your car.
