Where's the Main Relay in 1989 Honda Civic DX 4 Dr?

My 1989 Civic has the classic intermittent starting symptoms. According to
info I got from websites I'm looking for the MITSUBA RZ-0063 7 pin Main
Relay. I've been looking under the left side dash with mirror and flashlight
and haven't found this relay. I see the relays that are mounted in the fuse
box panel and the 4 pin relay that's just above the hood release. Thanks -
Jim

 

You're very close. It helps to have a new one in your hand.
Alternatively, maybe the pictures and photos at the
following sites will help:

jim beam supplied me with a number of pics of his '89 Civic's relay
location (same generation as the '88). I have included those pics in the
Main Relay page. Why Honda chose that terrible location is beyond me.





You sure are.





There's another one there... Keep looking!
