In the 2012 FIAT 500, you can locate the starter relay inside the fuse box near the front of the engine. The starter relay is a crucial yet often overlooked component of a car's ignition system. Its main function is to transfer power from the battery to the starter solenoid, which then turns on the starter to start the engine. Damage to the starter relay typically occurs when there is a faulty power connection to the starter, leading to a short circuit. Unfortunately, if the relay is not working, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one to get the engine running.
My car occasionally doesn't start even with a new battery. Should I consider replacing the starter relay as a possible solution?
Is the starter relay commonly known as the immobilizer relay T20?
