The relay is behind the left front foot well kick panel, it's tucked up fairly high.
You should hear it click if the car is not running, they are a small relay and not very loud.

Or conversly, put it in 4wd (cdl activated) and see if it is indeed in 4wd by driving... if it is then it's all good......

Is the relay visiable by just removing the kick panel I have looked there but was looking for a big relay ?

Im sure its not going into 4wd because i cannot hear the auctuator doing its thing.

The relay is inside a black box, a bit smaller than a cigarette packet. It's directly above the white fuse panel. You just about need to lay on your back on the floor to see it.
