The firewall relay solenoid, - yes, but when they do, they usually click IMO. - They don't have to tho. Best way to check is to do as the guys have said, jump it, - but! do you know how?

Here's the lay out -



BTW - This is one layout, yours may and probably does differ, - this is just to give you an idea.

EDIT - This is indeed a 97-98 layout. Yours is different, infact , I may look yours up here in a minute, if you need it. ?

ok dude to jump the relay, take some pliers and touch them on the 2 copper looking (i think they are copper or brass looking) bolts and it will spark and (hopefully) try to start if not start
