Relay help

I have a 2000 TL and I can't find the power steering pump relay for the life of me. I have an ABS light on and according to what I can find I need to start with code 53 with is most likely the relay.

I found this 01 02 03 Acura TL 3 2 Automatic ABS Pump Relay Box | eBay

So it clearly shows an ABS pump relay box, but I can't find this for the life of me under the hood. Any help?

Also any help with the part number would be appreciated too.

From what I can see the relay design might have changed from 00 to 01-03? From all the diagrams I can find it's the box next to the fuses under the hood, but mine doesn't look like the used ones being sold on eBay.

Okay, I am an idiot. It changed from 99-01 to the 02-03, and for some stupid reason went off a sellers description. I am still trying to find the part number, but it looks like a generic relay?

^ Are you trying to locate the ABS relay and not the power steering relay?

I was, and I realized I was looking at the diagram for an 02-03 which is different. However, the service manual states the the blow motor relay and the ABS relay are the same relay. I swapped the two and the blow motor still worked, so clearly it's not the relay. I am going to have to get a voltmeter to try somethings out to clear the codes.
