2000 Explorer Washer Pump Relay(s)

I have a 2000 Explorer and I'm not getting any power to the front washer pump. I've checked fuse #12 in the inside fuse panel and it's good. I don't think it's the multi function switch. I believe the problem is relay related. I've read other posts, and some of them imply that there are 2 relays under the hood. I think I've found the one in the power distribution box, but I cannot locate the second one. Some of the posts indicate the 2nd relay is below the air cleaner. I have the 5.0 V8 motor and cannot locate the 2nd relay. My questions:
- are there indeed 2 relays under the hood?
- exactly (pic would be great) where is the 2nd one that is not in the power dist box?
- what is the circuit order from the multifunction switch button to the washer pump? In other words... does it go from the switch, to the relay in the power dist box, and then to the 2nd relay, and then to the washer pump?

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to explain this as best as possible. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I can send you the wiring diagram and location drawings (probably) from the factory service manual as a PDF. If interested, send me a Private Message with the request and an e-mail address for you. It would be this evening before I'd be able to send the files.
