does anyone have a picture of where this thing is and does anyone know if i can just use a regular bosch $4 relay from autozone or do i have to have the special honda one?

 

i know if you get the bosch relay and harness and just splice behind the OEM connector it will work.

You don't need the subharness..
Its only use is to extend the wires so that the relay can be mounted in the spot it was supposed to be mounted to.

 

all i need is that relay then? does anyone know the honda part number for it??

it's the 4 pin mitsuba rc-2201, all of them work except for the accord 5 pin one

 

thanks a lot!!!! hopefully i will get these working

 

do you have to use the 4 pin mitsuba relay or can i use just a regular bosch 5 pin relay? and which wire do you connect to which pin?

 

it has to be a 4 pin for sure i am not sure if you can use the 4 pin bosch relay from a regular auto parts store but i didnt risk it and i went and bought the rc-2201 mitsuba relay from honda for like 40, the plug that the relay goes to is under the dash near the steering column it has blue tape on it and the connector is brown the relay just plugs in

 

so the 4 pin honda relay just plugs into the existing harness under the steering column without the sub-harness?

 

yes.

The sub-harness is just a kind of longering to make possible to fix the relay near cruise control box

It seems to be not a problem at all to fit the relay directly and to fix it to harness with a scotch tape.

 

thanks for the help and IMO you should probably use electrical tape instead of scotch tape

 

yea sorry about that link. You don't really need the subharness, it just makes things easier.

About the relay, if you are like me and have an OEM security system that is useless (i.e. don't have the discontinue and impossible to find remote control), you can take the relay from the security system located in the same place and use that. I looked it up, they are the same part number

 

will any 4pin relay work? cause honda is askin 51 bucks for the rc-2201. guess the price went up.

 

it is exactly the same as ABS one, can be found at any junkyard prelude.

Or if you want I have 2 original relays with harnesses, 2 switches too

 

I am using a really common 4 prong one from a civic. There was like 3 if them in the same car.

I forget the number, I have one at home. I will post it up latter.

I got it for a couple of dollars from a junkyard.

NO SUB-HARNESS NEEDED.

 

Pep Boys sells a four pin relay in their foglight section... thats the one im using. Its with all the foglight switches and bulbs. Its like $5 or something cheap.

 

i got the same exact one, auto zone also sells it for $5

it clips in and also has the mounting hole as the oem fog relay does

 

I just plugged in a Mitsuba RC-2203 from an Accord and it worked well too. I was lucky enough to get a tweeter speaker switch from the junk yard for $25. They obviously didn't know how much it was worth

 

This man is right you need this mitsuba one, and it goes attached by the steering column its plug and play install

This install was what i used to install my fogs on my prelude, you can see where the relay goes attached to , just read this and youll be in good shape

 

the 94 96 accords use the same relay for somthing its a rc-2201

for the 92 93 prelude its under the dash above a/c tubing with bolt connected to it
