Tracing Qjet choke wire -- where is choke relay? Underdash?
Hi guys, I am following some wiring diagrams to rewire a 1983 Qjet 305. There is one wire that I can not locate (previous owner cut some wires) that is killing me -- the choke wire. The wiring diagram says it should be light blue (then again there are several other light blue wires that have nothing to do with the choke so color alone doesn't tell me anything). I see on the diagram there is a relay for the electric choke heater. Where is this relay, on the driver's side under the dash somewhere? Can someone be very, very specific where the choke relay is and how I can identify it, so I can run the wire to the choke heater back out to under the hood? Thanks! A pic is always welcome if someone happens to have it

I found it, it was the wire I suspected. The 1983 V6 had a light blue wire WITH a black tracer for the choke heater. The 1983 V8s had a light blue wire with no tracer. It is the exact same wire except for the color coding on the V6. Now I have to figure out what 2 prong grey connector the previous owner cut thinking that it was the choke wire. The 2 prongs are at 90 degree orientations to each other (I have the end he cut off, he tossed it in the rear cargo area). I'll post a pic tomorrow and see if we can't figure out what it came from.
