where can i find the main relays to my prelude...im pretty sure its under the dash on the drivers side, but my fuse box doesnt have the cover so i dont know which ones which.

anyone have any pics onf their fuse box...or pics of the fuse box diagram so i can get an idea of what im looking at?

maybe some can be nice enough to maybe go take a pic of it in their car right now...i really need this please ive looked all over for the fuse box cover but cant find one or a picture of one.

PLEASE HELP!

 

its not in the fuse box.

It is in that area though. it should be bolted up there. higher up and more towards the drivers door.

it looks like this

 

Yeah, it's literally right under the top of the dash behind the steering wheel and a bit to the left. It has a brown plug with thicker wires coming out of it...

 

thanx guys...im goin to go check into it in a little bit.

 

when u find it have fun getting it unbolted, its a royal pain in the ***

 

i couldnt find the bolt either...
so i just unclipped the inner part of the main relay from the housing

 

Not a lude but you get the idea.


Check out this site. http://techauto.te.funpic.org/mainrelay.php

 

pull the gauges out to get it unbolted easy

 

damn...this sux. looks like i have a royal pain in the *** on my hands. but hopefully ill get it done ok. i think ill just buy a new main relay instead of trying to solder the one in there.

but do you think thats the only think it could be? most of the time it only starts when it is cold outside...other than that it just stutters to start.

I did the same as you Sniper - I just unclipped the inner and pulled her out - soldered and refitted - was far easier than trying to get a spanner onto that bolt...

 

I just left the old one in there, disconnected the wire connector from it and
reconnected it to the new one and taped it up under the dash.

It can be done in less than a minute.

 

Just an FYI, but you can also use an Accord Main Relay if your Prelude one is kaput. Getting to the main relay is really not a pain.

lmao nice...that seems way easier than unbolting the old one and putting the new one in.
