DIY Main PGMFI Relay repair

[CRXer]

The DA9 could be similar to the Gen2 crx,my crx relay is tucked in behind the hood release/coin tray area bolted to the side of car & is a bit hard to spot at first.

on a da9 its directly beneath the steering column, near the blinker relay

i have located the main relay under the RHS dash of my cd5 accord but bugger me if i can actually remove it.


any tips other than breaking it out?

sometimes you can take the bottom cover off while the relay housing is in the car, then slide the relay internals out of its housing..

just did this today. did notice the cheap solder they used all pitted and tarnished.

Da9 one is under the wheel, behind the bottom cover. Should be black and have 'Mitsuba' printed on it.

did this a couple of weeks ago to my bros crx
it was having trouble starting and the fuel pump wasnt priming
so i decided to try fixing the main relay and it works, so far anyway

all the solder on mine looks ok. Is it worth resoldering them all???

Heres a good eg of a cold joint on a relay i repaired recently,see the ring around the solder where the arrow is,reflow any that look like this,they can be very subtle & not easily seen,so its not hard to just reflow them all.Also while u have it apart give the relay contacts a bit of a spray with some contact cleaner.
