where is the main relay on 92 dx hatch

i am in the process of replacing the fuel pump on my civic right now and am thinking if this doesnt work i need to test the main relay. people said its down by the florr board somehwere but they provided no exact location. ok ill write down the problem

the other day my battery was dead as a door nail after i had left the door open for 2 weeks unintentionally when i went on leave( i shut the door on the seatbelt and it didnt shut fully enough to shut the light off.) well i get home try to jump the thing off and it gets power and turns over fine but it acts like it is not getting any fuel. i mean i replaced the fuel filter, distributor cap, spark plugs, wires, battery is brand new(but i had to recharge it after leaving the door open), new bosch o2 sensor. all this and the problem didnt go away so now i am replacing the fuel pump which seems to be a common problem. i wrote about this problem a few months ago but the problem went away and didnt happen for over 3 months. now the problem is back and i am trying my hardest to get it fixed. i got everything taken apart right now and will finish today on replacing the fiuel pump.

if you have any other clue what this could be please let me know

Your problem was most likely a main relay, as the weather changes, they go bad/get better depending if its getting hotter or colder. The sodder in them surprisingly will almost swell and contract. And the relay is super easy to test, just turn the key to on, and if you hear a click under the dash by the pedals, it works.

I believe that the relay is by the hood release, or right around the pedals, you should be able to find it by poking your head under there and just taking a look.
