Secondary Air Relay Location Help

Where is the relay for the secondary air system located and does it have a label? I've got a 2000 323i (production date is 9/99).

I've been searching on here and on google for a few days now. But, my impatience has led me to finally post for help. I've been dealing with an intermittent CEL for the secondary air pump. I got the Peake tool from Ken and have reset it several times. I even replaced the pump. The solenoid is working. And, the vacuum hose is brand new. This is my last hope before I turn to a federal offense and get the simulator for EBay headers (all respect, but it is illegal).

I'd like to get this fixed; so, my wife can drive it, while I go to Korea. If something else happens, it's not going to flash twice. :p

The airbag light's another story. My car is a rolling stereotype! Any help is greatly appreciated.

relay location

I have a 9/98 production 323i sedan and my secondary air pump relay was up behind the fusebox under the glovebox. You have to remove the glovebox to get to it. Not too bad a job. Its the "salmon" colored one on the left. BTW all this is detailed in the Bentley Manual for the E46. Pick one up, its the best money you'll spend on the car.
Hope this helps
