Main relay

Now either I'm crazy :screwy: which could be true but I cant find the main realy. It says its under the drivers side instrument panel and I have looked and found probably every other relay there is but the one that says main relay. :mad: I know its got to be there somewhere and I may have even had it and not known it was the one :banghead: but if someone could tell me where it is at on a 1990 honda civic ex I would be forever greatful :) thanks for any help Crystal

Crystal, it's all the way to the side of the chassis on the driver side (beyond the hood release). It sits vertically and is hard to get to but it's the one all the way flush against the chassis. The other relay above the hood release is the starter relay. GL

take out your coin tray and look to the left and down alittle. its pretty big about 3" long 1.5" wide with a long metal piece on it

Ok well if there isnt a change tray then.........?????LOL ummm it should say main relay on it shouldn't it? Hopefully I haven't allready had it out and just didn't know it!? LOL anyways here I go again...... stay tuned cuz I know Im gonna need some help again LOL

on the left side of the dash on the lower part there should be a coin tray

Well just to let you know there is no way no how any type of coin tray at all in my car!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! :biggrin: I finnally found it and re-soldered the joints and that was the problem. It started right up. Now I just have to remember how everything went because I had a hard time getting the bolt off the bracket that was on the relay. The bracket kept bending and I almost ripped the whole dash off!!! (wires included) But I finally got it so now I just need to re-assemble it. Thanks for all the help!!!!! :thumbsup:

so was there a coin tray ?

so was there a coin tray ?
like I said there is no coin tray anywhere in my car so you must be trippin' LOL :nono: :loser: LOL

im sorry every single other 4th gen has a coin tray

im sorry every single other 4th gen has a coin tray
Well I'm either a complete moron(which i'm not!) or maybe the civic ex doesnt come w/the said coin tray. either way there is absoultley no way mine does or from what I can tell, there isnt even a spot where one could have been. LOL :nono: :)

You're trippin... civickiller is totally right. Below the driver side vent there is a flip open tray. If your car doesn't have one, then maybe somebody removed it and broke off the bolt there and left a big gaping hole right there. LOL
