Default Main Relay???

I have a 1993 Honda Accord. Can anyone tell me where the MAIN RELAY is in it? My car does not start often times and I believe this is the problem. How do I check to see if that is the problem?

Thank you

it underneath the drivers dash on the left side if your looking at. if your underneath the dash it'll be on your right all the way up. It's a 7 pin connector I believe.

As you are laying on your back looking up under the dash, the main relay is above the cruise control unit[needs to be removed] to the right of the steering column...you will see the bottom of it where the wire plug is. The box is about 3"X 1 1/2" Gray color and will have "MITSUBA RZ00??" printed on the side of it. You can pop the guts out of the box with a pocket screwdriver, check the small relay coil solder joints on either end of the circuit board for cracks.
