    Thank you. A couple just broke down in front of my shop in a Honda pilot, and your video encouraged me to open their fuel pump relay and re-solder a bad connection. Thanks to you they are on the road again.

    True, If car is hot in the summer sun, it can also effect the relay. Air your car out first and try it. My 1995 Honda Accord has had issues in the summer. I now crack my windows a tad and park it under a shaded tree. It helps. I'm gonna need a new relay, or maybe a pump. Arghhhhhh

    Thanks for the tip. I was going to buy a new one but I resoldered the whole board instead. Why not? And now the car works fine. Before it would occasionally just not start, then have to sit a long time before restarting. Roll starting didn't work either.

    • @jimbarron8688
      @jimbarron8688 ปีที่แล้ว

      There may still be a click but if the terminal delivering power to the fuel pump is 'cold' then it won't start the fuel pump. Relays have coils and contacts and it's vital that all the terminals are electrically sound. This video shows precisely how to repair a cold solder joint. The symptoms of a cold joint in the main relay is difficult or inability to start in hot weather. Often the car starts when it's cold but once it's warm it cranks without firing. Main relay up under the dash.

    Need Ideas : My 1988 Honda Prelude Ignition Switch Always Started the Car Perfect...but Suddenly...I Only get the Dash Lights, On....but when turning the Switch to start the car----- absolutely Nothing Happens...( No solenoid Start....) But--- I rigged up a Push Button Switch, ran the two Wires to the Solenoid, and The Power comes from the POSITIVE + bolt at the rear of the Starter....the Car Starts fine....!!! As Long as the Key Switch is Activated....( and the Dash lights had come on , then stopped as Usual... Sooo why does the Key Switch not Turn on the ( Starter/solenoid) Anymore...??
    Is Something Broken at the Switch...??? Do I need to buy a New Ignition Switch...??
    Do I have to Pull the Steering Wheel to Inspect the Ignition Switch....??
    Is there Some kind of ( inline Fuse ) that I should Know About...?? Should I have to check for : a short in the Power to the Solenoid/ Starter..?? I really Don't Know If this is a Typical Thing that Happens to 1988--- very old and Tired Preludes....!! This Car Has the "Flip- Up " Headlights....by the way....2-door. Please Respond with Any Helpful Clues....or Resolve....as I do Drive this Car Daily....with My Mickey -Moused Starting push Button....it Works Excellent... Thank You....Bill in L.A.
