Go to Autozone.com site and register your vehicle for a free fusebox layout and wiring diagrams.

The Constant Control Relay Module may be located within the "engine" fuse box. Don't know your car that well but check the box to see if it is there.

The fuse box is located under dash on the left hand side of steering wheel, has a black cover on it. It is small. There is a power distribution box under the hood on the left hand fenderwell. Hope this helps, let me know.

It should stay on for about 30 seconds and go off. Otherwise, the car is 11 years old, so find a switch position which does not drain the battery.

the fuse box should be under the dash on the drivers side the cover of the fuse box should tell you which fuse is for the radio or your owners manual will also tell you

under your dash is a fuse box and with there is a lable on the cover that directs you to the right fuse that governs the dash and tail lights
