SEARCH a litle next time.......
it took me 3 min to find this

 

ok that helps, is the main relay the one locted directly above my hood latch?

 

yup

 

k thanks for the help, sry i tryed serching, maybe I hAd bad serch criteria.

 

lol. im just giving u a hard time. i like to be a big ***** every once in a a while

 

HOW COMES MY RELAY ONLY HAS 4 PRONGS OR TERMINALS AS COMPARED TO 8 ON THE ONE IN THAT THREAD?

 

then u got the wrong relay. its supposed to have more than that, u got the wrong one man. its screwed in with one bolt. post a pic up if u can

 

it appears to be the only one directly above the hood latch?, im not quite sure how to post up pics, its a little black box held with one bolt has 2 platic clips and four metal prongs extruding out from in side and the writting on it reads( denso 056700-8570, 12v, made in japan)any idea on where else my relay would be located? or should i say how far up in side of the dash? cause this on was real easy to get out

 

ok i found the correect relay and soildered two parts on the board that seemed to ahve cracks around them, thanks to this websites help-http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelayoperation/index.html#blueline
now with the relay pluged back in nothing happens still the same, but when i attempt to see if my marker ligths would come on i turn the switch for them and i here some little click noise whihc appears to be coming form within the door some where or so it sounds, iam going to try and test the relay by the terminals and see if i come up with anything

 

i did the test as prescribed in the honda book and all checked out okay, and i am getting power to the relay, anyideas on what is next, i also checked all engine grounds

 

why? your car won't start? have you checked your fuel pump?

 

the car wont do anything, i turn the key and i hear the clicks but nothing happens it wont turn over, no ligths or radio will turn on nothing but two little dash warning lights oil and battery very faint untill i turn key they get brighter but nothing happens, also if i leave my driver door open the lights will stay illuminated(faintly) untill i close it tightly then proceed to go out even with the key not in, i have eben disocnnecting battery to prevent it from going dead

 

you have some other problem, its not your main relay. You have a dead battery or loose connections.

 

i hv a similar situation as yours, but I dont think you are same as mine.
have you tried jump start?

 

no my battery seems to have a good charge i used voltmeter read 12.23 volts, n ideas on were to look

 

this is just starting to get to me, i wish i had a crystal ball..

 

my volt meter was abt 12-13v but I just can't start the car, however it started when I tried jump start. But, after a while the engine die again. Well, the reason for mine is the connector in the batter is not tight. maybe you should get a try.
however in this situation it really looks like something related to your battery b/c it seems like the battery is weak.

 

i have power going to the ignition switsh when it is off i turn it to the run position and the volts drop way off switch or tumbler? and how can i check for sure

 

Have you checked your starter? Usually when a car wont start and it just clicks its either low battery, bad connections, or the starter.

 

with trying to start it and moving some wires by the ignition swith it tried to turn over looked at the back of the fuse box and there is another electronic looking box there ??

 

O'reilly's can order one for around $25 but it will take a week to get in. I just had the same problem saturday. BUT if your fuel pump runs it probably is not your main relay. I ended up buying one from Honda for... you guessed it 60 bucks.

 

replace the alterntor i had the same prob.
