2014 Accord starter relay
There was a thread where someone was asking about the relay,it may have gotten deleted.
So this is information for that person and others. There are 2 starter relays and they are located in the underhood fuse box,within a black box of their own. They are not serviceable. (That I am aware of)
Ive been seeing a rash of low mileage(23k was the lowest Ive seen so far) 2012-2014 Accords with starter failures.
While I do stongly advocate troubleshooting first,if you have an intermittent no crank, no start,(but full dash power and maybe a clicking sound) you probably have a bad starter,not the relays.

2013 accord 4 cylinder 55k miles
So, I got the battery, starter and alternator tested at OReillys, test result were :
when car started :
battrey :pass
starter : pass (~95 volts)
alternator : failed (voltage was varying )
when car did not start (just click )
starter : failed (35 volts )
they suggested to replace both starter and alternator.
does this give any symptoms of any other issue ?
either electrical or mechanical?
guessing for some reason starter has to put extra effort to turn the flywheel? is it possible that it has more friction to turn ?
I did get extended warranty via previous owner , which was originally given by honda delaer.
have only powertrain left, while non-powertrain has expired , would it help me in anyway.
I know prior owner was rear-ended by a truck couple years back, would that accident might cause any issue like this ?
please suggest whats the best option for me in this situation.

Re: 2014 Accord starter relay
I would replace the starter.
The alternator should be tested at a shop with the proper equipment, and properly trained techs,rather than a minimum wage kid at a parts store......
