Default Simple MAIN RELAY question for a 4th Gen Prelude

I am sure the flamers will be all over this but I just need a simple answer. Where is the main relay in a 4th generation Prelude? I cannot seem to find it so I am sure I am looking on the wrong place.

TY

It's up there a good ways. Take off the panel under the steering wheel and lay on the floor and look up. Its really close to the dash recess

When I saw the pic I literally said F*CK. I just had the dashboard out. So I guess it is coming out again. LOL

Thank you, to both of you

You don't need to take the dash out, you can reach it from the drivers footwell.

Not even that. locate it from underneath the drivers footwell and just disconnect it and connect it to the new one. Just let it dangle there or tuck it somewhere you wont hit it.

If you need info, just ask. I know a lot.

#1, Do not want anything dangling, I try to keep my wires stock as best as I can.

#2, My hand is 4.75 inches wide at the knuckle, I doubt I will be able to reach it and get a wrench up there to get it off the fire wall and then get the new one back on.

Being a big guy working on a tight small car with tons of extra stuff squeezed in, usually means I do things the long way. I will check with a Honda mechanic friend of mine and see how they do it.

Thanks all
