Default 12 Volt Accessory Power Relay Location?

I've searched the car and the internet to try to find the relay. Does anyone know where it is?

I cannot answer about the relay. The fuse for it is under the dash in the fuse box to the left of the steering wheel. I think it is fuse 13. I used a fuse tap on mine to add another power outlet in the open space of the front console (like the 2011 models onward have). The 2010 only has a power outlet inside the center armrest! What were those guys thinking?

The inside cover of the fuse box has a guide regarding what each fuse is for. The big fuse box under the hood also contains relays and also has a guide inside the cover. Most vehicles follow this same pattern. Your owners manual should also have this information.

I was hoping to not have to tap into the fuse box to add another outlet. I would prefer to make one of the 12v accessory outlets always on. The big fuse box under the hood doesn't contain the relay for the accessory power. Thanks

I didn't need to find the relay. I was able to run 2 fuse taps together to jump power to the accessory outlet in the console. Now it is always on
