  • In this video we discuss the ins and outs of the infamous Honda Main Relay. We explain where all the wires go, and show that it is not as intimidating as some believe it to be. We will go through each and every pin with our multimeter and show the audience each wire color, and its destination.

      I got a Honda Civic ek b16a Vtec 1997 model
      Problem that I noticed is that when I turn my ignition on fuel pump prime all the time (non stop ) and car starts perfect my understanding is that the fuel pump need to go off with a click it doesn’t do that.i just need help with having the fuel pump go on and go off again once relay clicks

    Wow new subscriber and a very clear explanation of how the relay functions . I own two Hondas and I had trouble with one and was a cracked solder joint on the board . Repaired board and no problems since . And yes I keep a spare handy . Thank you for sharing this very important function of each pin . 👍. Artie

    I just finished the swap on my 99 dx.. however I am not getting any power to wire #3 with ignition on.. with ignition off it has continuity as well with ignition on but no power.. ignition switch has power to all wires, main relay is good, ecu is good.. they have been tested on a different car.. I have 3 grounds on engine bay (transmission case, valve cover, and intake manifold) fuses are all good.. I’m am running the Rywire budget harness V2 with the Hybrid Racing conversion harness.. any ideas?

    Do you know if a HONDA ACCORD 1992, 2.2, has immobiliser module. If so do you know where the immobiliser unit will be.
