The fuel pump relay for a 2001 Chevy Malibu is located in the fuse box under the hood on the left side of the engine bay. This relay, marked as #39, controls the power supply to the fuel pump. Common indicators that the relay needs to be replaced include the engine not starting, stalling, or the fuel pump remaining silent when turning the key to the "on" position. If the relay has fully stopped working, the engine will crank but not fire up due to the fuel pump not being activated. In cases of intermittent failure, the car may stall but then start up later. Replacing this relay typically costs less than $20 and can be done by the vehicle owner with the help of the owner's manual.
Doesn't the trunk have a relay switch?
