Can't find a relay on my sprinter

Hi there everyone.

I have a Mercedes sprinter 311cdi. Year: early 2006 (before shape change)(driver on the right hand side of the van as I live in the UK).

Does anyone know where the starter motor relay is?

I've got a feeling its located somewhere in the dashboard but not sure.

Also what's the best way to access it?

Kindest regards to everyone

Andy

It is located in fuse block #1 under the dash on the NAFTA Sprinters. I assume it would be in the same place on the Euro versions.

Thank you for the reply. Do you mean the fuses under the steering wheel or is there some more under the dash. Or do you mean inside the dash itself?

On the NAFTA version they are just to the left of the steering column under the dash. There are three relays located below the fuses and the starter relay is the center one.
I've never seen the right hand drive version but I would guess it is a mirror image so they should be below and right of the steering column on that one.
