I am going to run power to the rear of the truck and want to run it from the HAPP then through a relay that I will connect to an aux switch. I have a 2023 3500 with a 6.4. I am looking for a place to mount the relay and am not seeing any obvious area in the engine compartment. I have seen a few posts about others who have installed power through a relay but not seen any photos of where they put the relay. I am considering putting the relay on the frame rail just past the engine compartment. If anyone has a photo of where they found a spot for the relay it would be appreciated.

You mention aux switch, you’re not talking about the factory aux switches, right?

You're doing it wrong
Relay or solinoide? A relay there is tons of room a soliniode can be mounted by the rad support
It is a solenoid, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Y82X4E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
Mountainers - Yes I have factory aux switches. I plan on running the wire from the aux switch to the low voltage post to activate the solenoid.

Ah, solenoid makes more sense with all that as with the factory aux switches all the relays are already under the hood.

right at the top rad support there is a square post sticking out where you can mount it nicely thats where my plow solenoid is
