So yesterday my car wouldn't start... again. I have tried to solder my main relay (which apparently didn't fix my problem) and I am in need of a new one. I am pretty sure the main relay is the culprit here because when I turn the key, the car acts as if I am trying to start it without engaging the clutch (the car is a 5 speed obviously) however yesterday I removed the main relay, smacked it around a bit, put it back in and the car fired up! My question is... where is the best place to get a new main relay? I don't want to get a new one from Honda or an auto parts store to have the solder joints go bad again. Any ideas????

**EDIT**

sorry forgot to mention the car is a 94 EX.

Personally, I try to replace all my Honda's parts with, well, Honda parts. Most people moan about the prices for these parts but I've found that the best deals I've gotten (on brand new parts anyway) have been from Honda. Plus the parts are so available I can usually walk up to the parts counter and know I'll walk away with what I need.

 

I got my relay switch on Ebay 6 months ago. The part was a pull from another car but it works fine. I have an old one that I have yet to resolder. The car just starts every time now. I also drill holes in the plastic outer cover for more air ventilation.
I got it for $16 shipped by the way.

damn.

 

Let me correct that, it was about $13. The seller goes under ID labori_1.
She is selling one right now for $12 shipped if any one is interested. Mine still works since I purchase it. Tempted to buy another one.
