Where is the starter relay located in the Nissan Altima?

Model: Nissan Altima L31 - Years 2002-2006
Part: Starter motor

If the starter motor on your Nissan Altima has suddenly stopped working and the related fuses are intact, check the status of the respective relay, whose location is shown in this video. As demonstrated, the relay is located in the box inside the cabin, specifically underneath the cover located just behind the right headlight. It is the first in the top row when looking at the box from the front. If it is faulty, make sure to use a replacement with the same characteristics and work with the vehicle turned off to avoid any damage.
