The main relay is located on the drivers side cab of the car, it is specifically located behind the pull cable for the hood release. it is mounted to the wall and has one electrical connector plugged into it. to remove use your hand to unplug your sensor and then use a 10mm socket to remove the relay from the mounting position. Before assuming your relay is bad check all of its post connections and all of them should sit at 0 when testing at 20 ohms i beleive. mine is currently out and you will notice that the car will not even turn over.

It is called a main relay as it controls the entire cars electrical service and distribution. At some stores it will be listed under "fuel pump relay" but do not be fooled by the people that work in these stores as they have almost no mechanical experience and do not pay more than 85 bucks for this relay, you may be able to find a temporary replacement at a junkyard.

How do you locate and change the main relay on a 1992 Integra?

Main relay to what? There is no "main relay". You have multiple relays for a variety of functions. There is what may be considered a main relay, it is a "circuit opening relay". It controls the function of a variety of circuits (I.E. fuel pump, ECM, starter). Goto AutoZone.com and look up your vehicle and see if their website gives you the location for this relay. Actually there is a Main relay it is under the steering coluum it is a 10mm bolt that holds the hazard flashers and the Main relay it is a burnt brown color easy to fix best way is to take the kick panel off (the 2 Phillip screws) and a couple clips and you will a little black box and behind it there is the Main relay =)

Where is the blinker relay on a 1990 Geo Tracker?

The Turn Signal 'blicker' relay is located on the same bracket that holds the ECM and other relays, like the Main relay, Fuel relay, and Horn relay. The fuses are also attached to this same main bracket. The 'blicker relay' is the three-pronged relay in the center and it is not easy to see nor replace from under the dash. Easier way to replace the blicker relay is to remove the left dash radio speaker cover and then remove the speaker. Then remove the two bolts (that also can be unscrewed with a Phillips ( "+" pattern) screwdriver) that hold the entire bracket that the ECM and all the relays are attached to. INSURE THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED to prevent blowing the expensive ECM ! Then slide the entire assembly forward towards the firewall and disconnect the connectors (do not force connectors off because some, like the ECM connectors, have plastic clips that have to be depressed while wiggling the connector free). Unscrew the fuse box to be able to remove the entire bracket assembly and you can then easily replace any relay or even the ECM.
