Where is the starter relay on a 1992 Acura Integra?

Answer 1

If your wearing bi-focals, take them off. Push the passenger seat back as far as it will go. Put on a headlamp. Lay down on your back on passenger side and look (nearly to the top) up behind dash on your right. You will see a small black box( 1 1/2" by 1 3/16" ) held in place by a bolt. A connector is plugged into the bottom. One of the wires is white/black. Be very happy; you have located the starter relay. Which begs the question; Why??? Is your integra not starting at times? It is not worth the time and effort to change the starter relay unless you are certain it is defective. I own a 1993 integra GS. It had a won't start at times problem for 8 months until I finally found it. I installed three volt-meter pick-off points. About a week later trouble returned and the fault was found by reading the meter points. Part pulling is shooting from the hip; a bad, costly plan. For example; does your car have a security system? If so the starter signal leaves the ignition switch(12volts...white/black wire) passes through the security starter relay contact then through the starter relaycontact and completes it's journey at the starter solenoid. The security starter relay is located just above the fuse box inside the car on drivers side; easy to locate/change. However don't change unless you know it is defective. I'll send you a diagram if you would like; E-mail a request to SAAILER@NUVOX.NET. In the absence of a diagram; Ground is applied to one side of the starter solenoid and 12volts is applied through ignition switch. Through security starter relay contact. Through starter relay contact. Then via wiring harness to the other side of starter solenoid. A (white/black wire) all the way. Oh yes, Wall mart has headlamps for $12.95.
