Where is the EPS Motor Relay? Help Pls.

Is the EPS motor relay under the EPS Controller? Or near the motor? I couldnt find it in the workshop manual. It is in the EPS electrical diagram but could not find out where. Any idea guys? Pls advice.

Arrow Not having much luck....

There is no steering "relay".

Power goes direct from the 60 amp fuse on the battery, to the module, then to the motor itself, no relays.

According to the circuit diagram, it's inside the EPS. You need a relay because the 60 amp circuit is too big to go thru the ignition switch. The ignition switch trips the relay and energizes the 60 amp circuit to the power steering rack.
