Help locating clutch interlock relay

Hi folks,

Need some quick help locating the clutch interlock relay switch for a 01 Max. Having some intermittent starting issues (no cranking with key is at start, but can hear the fuel pump) and suspecting that it is the relay. Checked the ignition relay (in the junction box near the front of the car) and it seems to be working properly. But I can't find the clutch interlock relay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

IIRC it's on the passenger fenderwell. Make a jumper and bypass the relay, works great.

In the junction box in the engine bay? I don't see any relays there that fit the description.

I'm trying to remember.........I can't run out to my car at the moment, it's been sitting at the stealership for almost 6 weeks waiting for the tranny to get fixed. My Altima has been bypassed as well. The junction box says N/P CLUTCH on the cover. It may or maynot be the same. I've only had the car for 5 months and only got to drive it for 3 1/2 of those. The only two mods I've done under the hood was bypass the clutch relay and wired the fogs to come on with the park lights.

It's in the relay box on the left side of the engine bay, in front of the battery.

As you're looking at the relay box, it'll be top row, second from the left.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I have isolated it down to an intermittent clutch switch.
