Default Fuel Pump Relay

Hi guys, please anyone knows where specifically is the fuel pump relay for a 1995 Audi 90S 4 dooe sedan? I know it's under the kickpanel, does anyone have the white number on it or the exact location, or the ?

Why? Car stalled mid traffic lost power immediately and I had to push it to safety and park. It cranks, starts, very faintly then dies off. Think it's the fuel pump or the relay since I heard clicks on and off for years under the dash.

its under the hood, in the fuse box. They clearly label it on the lid of the fuse box.

Thank you for the input, duh!, should've known that. Replaced the relay, no change, car cranks but doesn't start, I am pretty sure it's the fuel pump, can't hear the pump on crank or on key position 3. It usually buzzes for the pre ignition feed.

lol, sorry, we head a similar situation not too long ago, car would not start, crank, no start. rolled it down a hill to a flat spot, started right up. i told them to go get gas right away, anyways, don't believe your fuel gauge.
your fuel filter is on the right side (passenger)of the car, in front of the right rear wheel, grab a flashlight ;-)

Ok, my VW Beetle, same location. I may not trust the fuel gauge but, I just put gas in the car before it broke down.
The fuel filter, does it have quick release hoses or not? The beetle had, I'm asking because it's cold outside and it'd save me some pin. I'll bring a FLESH light also.

Default Have you tried to pull the codes ?

It may be your cam position sensor.

Maineman thank you for the input, the symptoms were dead, on the same for the cam position sensor when it went bad last year, changed it. The only thing that separates this from that is the fact that now, it started twice on cranks but it died off instantly.

Ok guys, here it is, I went today to Audi and it is the fuel pump, not the relay, and not the filter, they checked the circuits and there's no constraint creating a vacuum, there is electricity up to the pump so there is no problem with the relay either.

Thank you for the help, all in all, towing, diagnosis, part and replacement, I'm out a chunk of change, but I guess this was my gift for Christmas.
