86 Accord LX Main Relay/Fuel Pump
Hi,
Ive been having problems with my fuel pump. Car ran intermittently when i purchased it and i got a new fuel pump but couldn''t get any power back to the pump. I thought maybe it was the Fuel Pump Relay.. replaced it, didn''t effect anything. Ive checked the fuses there all good. The car is carburated with an in tank electric pump which people ive been speakin to consider strange according to them fuel injected cars have electric pumps.. whatever im confused i don''t know hondas well. Anywho, the usual clicks you hear when you turn the key (initalizing the pump etc) is non-existant.
so i thought maybe it was the main relay, problem is, I can''t find the damn thing. I read that its under the dash driver side above the hood pulley deal. im not seeing it. All im seeing is the Mitsuba Retracter Control (for the lights i think?) and above that the Cruise control silver box.. I removed the Cruise box thinking maybe it would be under that; hidden, no go.
help please someone, im stumped and frustrated.
I know theres power up to the fuse box.. 15a fuse for fuel pump is good, no power is leaving the fuse box back to the pump..
this is the Main Relay the guy at Napa pulled up for 86 accord.

yup thats how thee o' honda main relay looks like. ITs really tucked in there near the driver side kick panel all the way up there. two 10mm bolts hold it in place.. really really hard to get to
