I think you can only get them from ford.
If you have trouble finding it under the dash ive always found if you take the air vent out next to the steering wheel and shine a torch down there you will be able to see the bank of relays

hi mate you can take cap off relay and press switch manually ,or take relay out and bridge to be sure thats your problem also check heated seatin fuse if s2 or fuse on its own in between fuses if s1 , also check ground to pump hope this helps
