It's not a relay, it's a microswitch. It's located on the parking brake lever itself under the center console. These can fail, of get dirty and not energize the circuit when the parking brake is pulled. Sometimes, this can be made to work by holding the thumb button on the brake lever and cycling it several times, keeping an eye on the dash to see if the indicator lights up.
