The DME is situated at the rear of the engine bay, looking from the front normally right hand side, black box, take off lid and have a look.

[marti5]

Yes it has got relays in how many on your car I dont know,it all depends on what gadgets you have fitted, apart from that have you pulled a plug yet, if you have was it wet or dry ?

[vincentmb615]

its on the left theres the pack to jump battery and theres a foma square with plastic clips holdin it on and two bolts on the bottom get the foam off and theres a black box with 5 phillips head screws i wana say the dme is behind that theres two boxes it will be on the bottom pull it out and unplug it if its dripping wet thats your problem open it with torx screws and let it AIR DRY DO NOT PUT IT IN THE OVEN i have heard of people doing that and its not smart at all let it air dry
