DRL light on, replaced relay no fix..

Honda Accord 2000 Automatic, lx model 200000 miles
Hey, my drl light is on and no day time lights are working, I replaced the DRL relay and no fix, also checked fuses and nothing... I know the bulbs work cuz the car starter illuminates them.. And it does click when I manually turn on my lights.. My hand brake is down.. The only other thing I can think is either a bad wire connection somewhere or the aftermarket remote starter is interfering.. (viper brand) any ideas would be great. . I can't pass safety in Canada without the DRL working...

Vehicle stalls during driving, sometimes it won't start, engine light

Honda Accord 2009 2.4L EX-L 261000 miles
Vehicle has 261,000. It shows very erratic behaviour. - Sometimes it won't start. - Sometimes it will start and run but it later stalls and engine will shut off while driving; the immobilizer light [green key] comes on blinking when car stalls, but then it disappears once the key is turned to 0 and then car will start again. - It shows an engine light which disappears all of the sudden just to re-appear later on. The codes are always P060A and P1659. - It just recently started showing also other codes, such as: P0498, P2118, P062F, P2610, and P2118. - I have replaced almost every relay an… Read complete

Main relay under the left side of the dash is interconnected with the Immobilizer system and the relay from Honda is a well known issue as it can heat up which causes the solder to crack causing the relay to eventually fail and in the meantime behave erratically. Seriously, everything that has happened to you guys has happened to me, including it cutting off while I was doing 8 in the fast lane surrounded by rush hour traffic and nearly died wrestling the no longer power steering wheel to the shoulder. Waiting 10 sometimes works but I’m not really buying into that because I read on a forum post about the relay problem and that in the meantime you can try smacking the cover of the fuse box with the faulty relay inside. It located under the dashboard and actually on the side wall of the car. You have to remove the panel under the steering column to get access to that specific box, it is not the regular box on the right side imbedded into the center of the dashboard where all of the control fuse for lights and crap are. I’ve been employing the foot tap method for 5 straight days, in the heat (because it seems to be worse and will start less if it’s hot outside) and it works every single time. I feel like Fonzie. I’m sure there’s more to it than that but regardless, I need my car to start as well as to not endanger my life by cutting off everything whilst exceeding the speed limit so I don’t get run over by my fellow drivers, because California, and all I can say is that as silly as it sounds, it’s effective in employing some sort of og magic and raising my temperamental ride from the recently dead.

Hi,can you please send a picture of this relay and location, or the part number? I have the SAME issues with my 2008 Accord and have stuck so many parts and money into it already and I am about to give up. Please help. Thank you :)
Valaraukar68 from United States 6 months ago
@mnldianI’m unable to get to my car atm but my magic spot, and it is a spot, not an area, is under the driver side dash but on the side wall on the left right up where the two meet. I just lift my foot and flick it against the cover there and bang! every time! Still! I know it’s hinky, but it works after a year’s worth of wrong information and advice, and I’m confident that eventually whatever is wrong with the relay(the crap factory soldering is supposed to be the main culprit) will get worse and I’ll have to replace it, or it could something completely different. All I know is some mechanic mentioned it in YouTube video and I gave it a try without hope in my heart as I had been let down repeatedly, only to have it work then and always, so far. I am and anyone else who tries it should be aware and paying attention all the time while driving because it can still cut out, but only has once and I put the car in neutral and restarted it immediately after a quick tap with my foot, but for a second there I was wrassling with a 2K automobile, in traffic and without power and most importantly, power steering, but all’s well that ends well.

@Valaraukar68I will take a look, just wondering what relay it might be. Thank you.
Valaraukar68 from United States 6 months ago
@mnldianIt’s the main relay, and you can google the diagram for your particular Honda. Mine is a ‘98, so things may be in a different place inside the cabin.

@mnldianPart number 25033 fuel pump relay, this is the only relay you will have NO issues with, the only one that has been working for years, before this I changed 3 different fuel pump relays on my Honda 2008

Starting with the Fuel heater relay [R6, Check pictures]. - I have replaced the Fuel Pump fuse [Number 9 in Pictures] and Fuel Pump Relay [R1 in Pictures] to no avail. It is really getting on my nerves. 12

I am having the same problem. I have tried to fix it for the pasted month and still unable to fix it.
Did you ever find the problem?

Any solution on this?
Koda from United States 4 months ago
I heard it’s the starter it might make sense since the computer sends the power to it and some how it kicks back to it causing many codes and issues to the computer but once charging the starter if doesn’t changes the best advice is to get rid of that car and never buy a Honda ever again!!!!

Problems 2012 Accord SE

Honda Accord 2012 SE Sedan 2.4L 5A
Twice in the last few months my car's engine would not turn over when i turned the key to the start position. It only made a buzzing sound. I returned the key to the resting position and tried again. Both times it started. I took it to the honda dealer to have it serviced. The technician told me this was normal. (no. It's normal for a car to start when you turn the key. ) he gave me a copy of a honda "service news article" dated "october 2001" entitled "starter relay buzzes. " it reads, "if you turn the ignition switch very slowly to start the engine, all honda models except passport have th… Read complete

Problem 2013 Honda Accord LX 4dr CVT

Honda Accord 2013 LX Sedan 2.4L CVT
The drivers side mirror is a danger. The outer 1/4 of the mirror is supposed to expose a blind spot, it does not. It is like looking in a fun house mirror distorting on coming vehicles. It is worse in the rain and at night with other vehicle headlights adding to the problem. I see accidents happening in the future. I called the honda dealer and asked to get a plain mirror put in. I was told they would order it and in a week i brought the car in for the replacement. After waiting 1/2 hour the service man came and told me the mirror sent was the same glass and there was no other mirror offered b… Read complete

Heater blows cold air.

Honda Accord 2005 Coupe 4 cyl 290000 miles
Blower is good. Heater core is clean. Control valve working. Fuse and relay are good... But heater will blow cold air if blower is set to maximum. Or will not work at any blower setting but blower is running.

Problem 2013 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr CVT

Honda Accord 2013 EX-L Sedan 2.4L CVT
When i started my car today i got a blinking light on the dash that looked like a battery. I looked it up in the owner's manual and it said "battery not charging" and to "contact the dealer immediately for repairs". I'll call them tomorrow. About a month ago, my car wouldn't start. I had to get it jumped and later took it in. They replaced an under dash relay. My car has been ok otherwise.
