Default MAIN RELAY?

---------------------------------------------RECENT EDIT:

Ok so i replaced the bolt that grounded the thermostat and i tried the key and the feul pump primed, THANKS!

Now my engine is cranking kind of like the battery is completely dead, but the battery is fine because my HID's came on fine. car wont start though

Also when I used a jumper harness to check for CEL, the CEL just stood on solid, after feul pump primes and everything.

Any suggestions

-------------------------------------------------UNEDITED FIRST POST:
Aight so yesterday, this was my dilemma

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2210192

This morning, I plugged in a jumper harness to test for CEL, and when i click the key to the ON position, something started clicking like hell and the CEL is lit dimly. I believe its the main relay. When I go to start the car, it clicks louder and the CEL comes on brighter.

I removed the FI E/M underhood fuse and turned the key, and i get no noise whatsoever.

The feul pump still doesn't prime..

HELP! TIA

Also, is this the main relay here in this picture?


Sorry for the shitty and huge sk3 pic. Thanks again

If you're interested in buying a main relay, I have one I can SHIP to you for $20 out the door.
