Where's the starter relay?

Can anybody tell me where the starter relay is located in a 1988 4-cyl Camry?

Thanks!

Open up the Main Fuse pannel under the hood and under the pannel cover it will say what is what on the pannel. Just look at that and it will tell you where the starter relay (if any) is.

Mostly correct...

There is no start relay on the automatic motor. The starter solenoid power goes directly through the key switch, through the neutral start switch on the transmission and then to the starter.

There is a starter relay on the manual transmission cars located at the top of the fuse/relay panel in the driver's footwell. Power travels from the key switch through the clutch switch to the starter relay, then to the starter.
