I'm not sure what you're looking for:

THE STARTER RELAY?
This prevents you from starting a car with an automatic transmission unless it's in park or neutral. This relay is located under the dash, up against the firewall, near the brake pedal bracket, a large white connector panel, and a lot of other relay and relay-like objects. Its socket has 3 black wires and a brown & black wire.

THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT?
This is a box that tells the automatic transmission when to shift. It's located above the chime module, behind the headlight switch, and has a lot of wires coming out of it.

HTH

I'm trying to locate the auto trans relay. Does anybody know where it is located?
