I don't think there is a relay. On my 2013 both fuses L and M on the "Fuse and Fusible Link" block need to be passing power to the ABS actuator and control unit. That's the small board connected directly to your battery's + terminal. Here's a pic.
It's by the abs pump. I'm pretty sure it has 2 or three plugs going into it. It's not a cheap relay either. I've had problems with mine lately getting stuck open. What problem are you having?
Intermittently I'm having the VDC off, ABS, and SLIP lights all come on. Sometimes I get a buzzing sound even when the car is off. There was another post in here that pointed the issue to the abs relay part number 47605-C9900. The part is on ebay for $163 so I thought I would try that. I just can't find any good pictures, videos or diagrams on the web of where it is located.
thanks
Again, it has 3 plugs going to it. Look at the relay online then go look at your car. You will see it in your brake compartment. I took a picture of mine. When the lights light on the dash, restart car, and drive to about 10mph till the abs pump turns off. You dont want to burn out the abs pump
If all else fails, disconnect your battery
There's a release tab on the metal bracket that attaches it to the fender, use a small screwdriver. It's also razor blade sharp so make sure you have gloves on while you are pulling the relay straight up.
I've seriously considered just breaking the tab off and zip tying the relay onto other components in that area. It's a super pain in the *** to get that thing off, I've done a few of them now and it doesn't get easier with practice.
Check this thread, i made a couple useful posts with parts interchange models and such that might be useful for you.
A lame question but don't want to break anything. Relay has been sticking. How remove the harnesses? Video would be very helpful. (And I understand removing the actual relay is a PITA!)

Thanks.
You stick a little screwdriver into the tab on the connector and push inward to release, then pull up.
I couldn’t, however, figure out how to release it from its metal bracket, and eventually gave up on it at the junkyard. If I had brought a hacksaw, I could’ve bent it over sideways and just cut it out
