Its just a light, you dont really need it anyway.
If its anything like a 96 you can pull the 2 pin plug off the top of the tcase and jump the pins together. Turn the key on, and if the bulb is good the light will be on. This will show you if the switch is bad.

If you jump the wires and nothing happens, you either have a bad bulb or a cut wire somewhere.

No relays, its a simple 2wire circuit.
