Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2008Honda Concerto main relay
Hi, i need to replace the main relay of my Honda Concerto 1.5 '93. It is named Mitsuba "RZ-0098, but i can't find it! May a use another relay with the same features? > Hi, i need to replace the main relay of my Honda Concerto 1.5 '93. It > is named Mitsuba "RZ-0098, but i can't find it!

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.

I should clarify two things: 1) Main Relays rarely actually go bad, but simply suffer from cracked solder. 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 That RZ-0098 has most likely been superseded by a different model.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.

See this page: http://techauto.awardspace.com/faq.html About 2/3 of the way down is a chart with relay model numbers.

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 should clarify two things: >> 1) Main Relays rarely actually go bad, but simply suffer from cracked [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > ECU/injection? > Thx for your suggestions! ok, it works fine! 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:-)!) >>> I should clarify two things: >>> 1) Main Relays rarely actually go bad, but simply suffer from cracked [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > 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:-)!) that is EXTREMELY dangerous. the relay is there so that in the event of a crash, the ecu can switch off the fuel pump. you bypassing all that means you can be trapped in a burning vehicle that's continuing to pump burning gasoline onto you. even if you don't mind incinerating yourself, you can also incinerate passengers or third parties in the crash. repair or replace the relay ONLY.
