That is what I am going to check.  I think its the one underneath the dash.
I found several there and the wires leading out of the ignition switch and
into the loom go over near there, and behind them.. So I guess its trial and
error.  There are also 6 relays mounted to the outside of the fuse panel
under the hood.  There are 3 per side, and these are over and above the ones
inside the fuse panel for fog lamps headlights and such.  What do these
relays go for at the dealer?

Thanks again for all the pointers everyone.  Great list!!
