89 Civic 5 spd manual
Turn the key, all guages, radio, etc. power on.Try to start, nothing seems to engage the starter. I hear a relay clicking under the driver's side dash. I thought it may be the clutch switch. I can press the switch manually with my finger and turn the key, that relay will click. If I remove my finger and turn the key, the relay does not click. In my mind that tells me that the clutch switch is functioning because this relay seems to get power when depressed, correct? My problem is I don't know what this relay is. It is just hanging down by some wires and plug. It seems too low to be the main relay, as I have heard the main relay is really far up and hard to reach, this thing is just dangling. Any suggestions or things to look at would be appreciated. FYI, the starter and coil are new within the last year, as well as the ignition switch. Where would the ignition relay be located at?
