Got finished up swapping a GSR into 92 Civic hatch. Go to start it and the main relay (right above the hood latch) starts clicking. When I turn the key over, the main relay continues clicking.I replaced it and it does the same thing. I had the replacement tested and it worked good. The gauge cluster lights are not very bright as they should be. The horn works, but is not very loud at all.

Not sure what the problem is. Obviously it's something electrical.

Thoughts / Ideas?



Thanks in Advance.

Check main under dash fuses. 18 & 24 I believe there's another one but can't think of it.

 

have you checked the battery and/or alternator?

 

check your grounds, t-stat housing, tranny, valve cover

 

What do 18 & 24 control? I'll check em out.

Battery is good. Alternator should be as well.

Other people are saying its a ground as well, but I'll double check these and check back.

Thanks guys.

 

ground from your trans to your chassis can almost guarantee it.

 

Like stated before...This sounds like what happens when your battery is low. I know it sounds stupid, but definitely try charging it or using a different battery.

 

had the same problem and it was because i had a ground that wasn't connected to anything, i took a 10mm bolt off a fender and bolted the ground back in

 

Ended up being a dead cell in the battery. Got a new one and it started right up. I'm not sure if the main relay still caused a problem, but the guy helping me out said it was bad as well.

Thanks to those who replied

Still have a few issues after starting. The brake lights stay lit up even with the keys out of the ignition. When I apply the brakes, the rear lights do not light up or anything. I've been told it could the sensor(?) behind the brake pedal could be bad.

Any thoughts/ideas?
