If you take out the passenger side speaker, you will see a small bracket with 2 relays on it. These relays have a strange pin config. I had a similar thing and to be safe and not wanting to be dumped in the bush, I got a local auto elec to replace them with common ones that you can buy anywhere and at the same time did a booster relay.

No more problems after that.

Yes that speaker, just look straight through and you will see a bracket with 2 relays side by side.

A booster relay basically reroutes power more directly to the starter.
