Hi Everyone. I'm looking at installing a fuel pump kill switch in my 2002 Civic LX 4-door. I've read up some about it, and I work in Electronics Engineering, so I have no problem doing it. However, I was wondering if there are any guides especially for this era of Civics, so I know how to properly get into the centre console, etc, without scratching up or breaking any of the plastic covering while I try to get in. I'm thinking of just taking off the cover on the centre console, (where the gear shift is), find the right wire, and then find a place to hide the switch. Any tips, info, pictures, are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

 

The Fuel Relay is mounted behind the hinge support beam holding the Glove Compartment.

 

Are there any other relays nearby that may get mixed up with this one? Also, do you know what the pin-out is for this relay, so that I know what wires go where?

 

I had a look behind the glove comparment and I see a few relays. Is the fuel relay the blue one? Also, which wire do I need to put the switch in line with? There's a mess of wires there.

 

I don't know the pin numbers off the top of my head, but I think the fuel relay is opposite the blue one.

You may want to pick yourself up a Helm's Service manual.

 

Anyone else have some info on this? Thanks.

 

I found a wiring diagram online from an actual service manual. I looked behind the glove compartment and found the relay and the correct wires, etc, so I'm going to give it a try! I've got a 16A switch, which I think will still be fine, seeing how the max current 18awg wire can handle is rated around 16A. Wish me luck!

 

good luck

 

Got it all hooked up and it's working exactly as it should!
