John,
    I looked and there it is behind the fusebus just
like you said.   Looks like I have to remove the
fusebus to get to it.
Why could they have not used one of the spare spots on
the bus itself.   Perhaps a good idea to disconnect
the battery.   For general information a deep 12 point
socket 1 1/8 inch was required to remove the
sensorswitch on the radiator. available at sears for 8
bucks.   still another socket to add to the collection
of least used tools.  Going for the relay right now.
            thanks gary
