So ive been going through my share of main relays and im pretty sure its because im getting water in them some how. I cant find the leak so instead im trying to just relocate the main relay to a dry spot. My manual says theres 7 wires going into it however when i went to extend the wires i found theres 2 grounds, 2 wires to the ECU and 2 to the ignition making a total of 10 wires. Why do these three have doubles and can i just extend them with the same wire or should i get three more wires to keep it how it is?

car is a 95 cx.

 

dont know crap about wiring/harnesses. but, if honda did it that way, i'm sure they had a good reason.

 

You can extend them with a single wire. There are two because it goes to more then one location somewhere else in the car.

The blue white for example is a power wire, that tells the car is switched on I belive so it sends power to the relay and to the ecu.

 

check a diagram but they could be feedback wires which you def. dont want to eliminate

 

I did check a diagram, the feed more then one item which is why there the same color.

thanks, i think i am gonna just get extra wire and extend all 10 wires. No need to get lazy when it comes to wiring.
