Default Main Relay?

Randomly, I went ouside today to start my car and it wouldnt start. I have rapid clicking from the main relay and the check engine light is blinking so fast that it looks dim. I cannot even get to the main relay to take it out. Hell the hell to you get it out?

Search if you want some pics, or look in the manual. Basically it's behind the plastic trim piece near the hood latch lever. It's held in by a 10mm bolt (I think, it's been a long time so I'm not 100% sure). Take it out, pull the plug out, and get the plastic cover off. If it's bad it's usually pretty obvious where the solder is cracked. Every one I've seen has the same pins cracked. Just heat up each one with a soldering iron to remelt it.
I don't know if that's your problem though. I don't remember the CEL blinking when the relay was bad, and I'm not sure it would click if bad either.

Ok, I got it out. The car doesnt star ( I dont hear the fuel pump prime.) None of the sodler points are cracked but it is clicking very very fast whenever I have the ign on. I can feel it in my hand clicking.
