P0231 problems

This should be a simple problem but the more I read online the more confused I get. The truck died twice today randomly and then restarted promptly. I ran the codes when I got home (oem enhanced) and it was throwing a code for a knock sensor and p0231 which means a bad fuel pump relay. Where is the relay? Under the hood? Behind the radio? I already replaced the fuel pump and the knock sensor awhile ago, but the p0231 is new. Any help is greatly appreciated about where it's located or if it's even serviceable

i took out the radio and that's the only relay block I found, am I missing something? I know that relay is only for the turn signals and hazards

It's built into the central junction box and is considered non-serviceable. However, many have replaced it with a little soldering know-how and skill. A search here should find you many threads on the subject.
