Pins 4 and 6 are used for the starter line, but some use one while some use the other. Make sure your chosen replacement uses the same pin as the one you've got in there now. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

If you know how to use a soldering gun you can easily fix your existing one for free. 2) Honda has changed the Main Relays (and their model numbers) over the years. That RZ-0098 has most likely been superseded by a different model. Your local Honda dealer will know. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Another question: can i bypass the main relay with some links on wire harness connector if my car doesn't start? Is it dangerous for ECU/injection? Thx for your suggestions! |

I linked with 2 iron wires (from a simply cut paper clip ) the "holes" 1, 3 ,7 of wire harness connector (numbers are written near relay pins) I think to make a better "bridge" with a little piece of iron from pc case, (the pieces that you remove on the back when adding a graphic card i.e.) it is easy to cut 3 linked "peacks" for entering into the WHC. So my Concerto will never let me down on the street (i hope:-)!) |
