no, it's up and to the left

you'll know it when you find it because it's really hard to get to and it's bigger than that. it also has a metal mounting bracket permanently attatched to the outer housing of the relay.

If you are sitting in the driver seat, it is under the dash between your left leg and the door, at about knee level.

No. The main relay is further up the dash.

The item you selected is the clutch interlock relay..

What you are looking for is hidden behind the coin tray in the dash..

If you can solder, pry the tabs apart and take the cover of the relay off. Look for cracked solder joints at either end of the circuit board. I usually find the same 4 are cracked. (2 on each end) I use solder wick and pull the old solder off, then resolder the connections. Clean off the resin that the solder leaves and it's like new.

People at honda are shady sometimes. Take your dizzy off, clean it up real good, put a new coil in, then charge you for a new dizzy
