How to Remove a Honda Accord Relay
To remove a relay in a Honda Accord, follow these steps:
1. Locate the relay: The location of the relay may vary depending on the model year of your Honda Accord. In most cases, the relay is located behind the dashboard, either to the right or left of the steering wheel. It may be accessible from under the dashboard or behind the steering column access or dash panel.
2. Identify the relay: The relay should be marked with the words “RELAY ASS’Y MAIN”.
3. Disconnect the relay: Unplug the relay from the main relay socket. The socket is connected to the wiring and locks the relay in place with a tab. Without touching any of the wires, push in the tab to release the relay. Alternatively, you can use a pocketknife to pop the relay out.
Please note that the specific steps to remove a relay may vary depending on the model year and configuration of your Honda Accord. It’s always a good idea to consult the vehicle’s manual or seek professional assistance if you’re unsure.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

What does the main relay control on a Honda?
The main relay in a vehicle controls the fuel pump and supplies power to the injectors. Knowing how to test a Honda main relay can help you better pinpoint the cause when an electrical issue arises.
What does a bad relay sound like?
The relay either sends a fully electrical signal or nothing. But, a damaged or worn-out relay that has not failed may try to close contacts during on and off. The unsuccessful attempts result in rapid clicking sounds or another annoying bad starter relay sound.
How do you know if main relay is bad?
The Vehicle Won’t Stay Running
The engine will stop running, and your vehicle won’t move or start. Main relay problems could also lead to your engine running for a while or a very short time. Your vehicle might start normally sometimes but not start at all at other times.
What causes a bad relay?
Even in low-level signal applications, accidents and faulty UUTs can cause relay failures, and inrush currents, caused by hot-switching capacitive loads, and voltage spikes, caused by hot-switching inductive loads, accelerate relay aging.
What does PGM-FI mean on a Honda?
Programmed Fuel Injection
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) (Select models)
What is a starter cut relay?
Video our demonstration card will be a 2007 accord. And i have a wiring diagram for that vehicle. All right let’s look at our components as they’re laid out on this wiring. Diagram.
What are the symptoms of PGM-FI main relay?
Symptoms. Problems starting the car, usually after a short run (when the interior is warm), though in bad cases the car may fail to start at any time. A classic time for the problem to occur is at the petrol station, or if you park for a minute to get something from a shop.
Can I drive with a bad relay?
If the relay failed closed (on), the fuel pump will work fine, but it will stay on constantly and eventually drain the battery, at which point you will end up with a no start. If the relay is intermittently working, you may or may not be able to get the engine started and it may or may not stay running.
What happens when a relay goes bad?
A defective starter relay will prevent your battery from delivering electrical signal to your starter motor. Therefore, no matter how many times you turn the key, your engine will not start. When you turn the key, if the circuit is not broken, you may hear a click.
