All the DeLorean vendors sell relay kits that replace the common relays. 
Most of them however are the standard Bosch relays as previously mentioned 
and easy to come by. As for a map, you should get the Workshop manual. It 
covers all the components of the electrical system.

As a guide, here is what you should replace if everything is still 
original. The workshop manual will give you the locations.
Standard auto relay (Bosch 0 332 209 150) - AC Panel, 3rd and 4th fan 
speeds, high and low headlights, start inhibit, cooling fans and ignition 
(in engine compartment).
Bosch Lambda relay - available from any D vendor.
RPM fuel relay - available from any D vendor.
Lock controller relays (automotive PCB mount) - Toby (delorean-parts.com) 
or John (specialtauto.com) sell them.

The two other large relays in the electrical compartment have a low failure 
rate and don't need to be replaced.

Finally, don't forget to replace the circuit breakers. They are either over 
or under rated for the job. Replacing them should prevent issues like 
having the fans cut in and out at random. Any D vendor can also provide you 
with these too.
