Relay access - A bit of advice
When inspecting or replacing the fuel pump relay or any other relay in that bank, I would like to say that not one video I’ve watched suggested the order to remove the screws holding the knee panel under the steering wheel. I learned the hard way. In videos I saw, they showed the first two screws to remove are in the fuse panel at the driver side. In my vehicle, there is no reason to remove the bottom left screw in the fuse panel. The upper right screw does need to be removed. There are four more screws that need to me removed. Next, when you remove the trim piece over the steering column near the instrument cluster, remove these two screws first. This is important due to the fact that the mounting points here are flimsy plastic tabs that break easily. After that, you can remove the lower screws at the bottom left and right of the knee panel and safely remove the panel without damaging it. When fitting the panel back into place, be sure to start with the lower screws at the bottom left and right of the knee panel.
I hope this helps someone.
