Okay so Im doing the main relay today as well. I got the old relay out, but when takeing it out like a smack, I used pliers and created a spark while takeing them out. Now I have the old one out and the new one in and it wont start at all. Are there fuses for the main relay? Someone help, I need this thing up and running before 6pm

 

what car is this? And did you check all the fuses in the cabin?

 

its a 1992 Prelude SI, 2.3L engine.
Besides the fuse box under the dash, and the one in the top left of the engine compartment, are there any more fuse boxes?

 

does anything happen when you turn the key or is it just dead? do all your lights work? what exactly sparked

 

okay thanks, I checked it out, it was a fuse. Bah, thanks again.

 

Where is the Main Relay on a 93 Prelude SR Located? And How to replace it??

 

I would imagine its in the same place as the 92 SI. Underneath the dashboard driver side. You have to take off the bottom panel to get to it.

More threads that I used. Its easy to replace. One 10mm bolt holds it in place, and it snaps in and out of the wire hire harness.

 

So your car starts now?

It always did. But at times it gave me more ***** than I wanted. Especially when it was hot. I trouble shooted everything else. I Had all filters changed, timing checked out, new spark plugs, wires and distrubutor cap. And it still wouldnt start up sometimes and I had to let it sit for a few mins and then it would work. I did the relay yesterday, that one bolt holding it up was a bitch to remove but I got it out and replaced it with a new one. Blew a fuse to while doing it. Lesson learned disconnect postive battery terminals while working on electrical.

 

Another way to check the relay is if your car isn't starting smack the side of your dash where the relay is. If it starts then yes it's your relay. And yes you should always disconnect battery when doing eletrical. I jumped my headlights while splicing and installing the harness for the JDM headlights. Scared me too!
