I will feel stupid indeed. But I must point out, that that is not a starter relay, it is a solonoid relay.

I don't doubt it is a solenoid relay. I'm just going by what that page in the shop manual said it was...

lol, I'll take your word for it.

did AF put up a language censor or is everyone editing fuck on their own?

I must admit when I am wrong. I must have been hallucinating because I could've sworn one of those shop manual pages said "starter relay" next to "main relay" in the relay location page. But NO it does not. So STFU to me. LOL

lol hey were all wrong sometimes just some of us more than others. maybe everytime we swear 5 cents should go into a swear jar.

anyways the other day it wasnt very hot out but when i tried to turn the car on it just cranked. my heater was on 2 so i turned it off and tried to start again and it came right on. could that be the relay goin out? everyones been complainin about theirs lately and i kno mines never been changed out so im tryin to see if im gonna have to change it soon.

Who knows? It could've been excessive juice straining the battery. I know I've tried countless times to get my car started and had it jumped off and floored the gas and finally it started. Some days I just turn the key and it starts instantly. Damn old car. I believe the wiring is just getting so old. If things go right the crx will be gone soon and I'll have a new SUV... I'm such a mippie... haha...

the gauges in my civic hatch that im pickin up dont work. well the speedometer does but none of the others do. would this be caused by the main relay?? im goin to the junkyard tomorrow to find some parts and need to kno so i can snag one...or maybe two

TheSilentChamber · #25 09-20-2006, 10:46 AM

no.

FrodoGT · #26 09-20-2006, 06:15 PM

I have a feeling my main relay is going to start giving me grief soon enough..thisll be the third time in a month on a hot day that it has just cranked..usually Ill turn the key back and try again once or twice and itll fire up.

Main relay really has nothing to do with your gauges man. Either you guages are broken, your sender switches are broken, or its wiring related.

thefooshmeister · #28 09-21-2006, 02:28 AM

k ill find another set of gauges while im there. what are the sender switches? i hate electrical thats why i got rywires stuff when i did my swap but i guess nows a good time to learn. i talked to the kid that owns the car today and he said the fuel, tach, and oil temp all dont work. hopefully ill get it this weekend and can start workin on it soon. the clutch is bad and the head gasket leaks but i need a good project to do before winter, so i cant complain.

The speedometer is cable driven and also turns the odometer. The rest are electronic. It's probably a fuse.

thefooshmeister · #30 09-21-2006, 11:40 AM

yeah i kno the speedo is just controlled by the cable cuz i remember messin with it durin the swap thats why i ruled that out but i have no idea with the rest of it. ill just check the fuses when i get to look at it next, as long as its somethin easy ill be happy
