Is it the same as the main relay on a 94? I wish the manuals had more actual photographs. It took me forever to find the main relay on my '90, because all I could see on the diagram was a little hand-drawn box.

Main relay and starter relay are the same.
If your dash lights are going out, it's most likely a faulty ignition switch, weak battery, or dirty/corroded battery cables.

There's no starter relay, only main relay which sends power to the starter and a starter cut relay which cuts power to the main when the clutch pedal switch circuit indicates that the clutch isn't down.

Anyway, here you go sir... starter cut relay:

Can I ask what problem you are having? If you notice the little footnote the start/cut relay is for Manaul Trans.
