main relay.


Main Relay.

~$126 for parts and labor from your honda dealer depending what the labor rate is.


Should be ready to go in about an hour.

Yah had the same problem on my '92 and had the same relay replaced...have a contact at Honda. Tho he was able to start the car--ffter the sun went down and said when the car is sitting in the sun (when the relay is going bad from poor solder connections) it can cause the car not to start during the day.
