Trying to find where the main relay ground wire is on a 1996 Accord EX.

I keep reading it should be near the thermostat but I see no ground wires near the thermostat. Can someone tell me where it is?

My problem is when key is turned, check engine light does not flash, so fuel pump doesn't prime. It gradually got worse as yesterday if I waited about 10 seconds it would flash and prime. Today not at all.

I replaced the main relay and it still did not correct the problem. I read I should check the ground next, but I can not find it.

 

the ground wire your looking for is rite under the thermostat,its kinda hard to see but its their just look alil harder

 

G101 is not on the thermostat housing, like the 90-93 accords. It is on the firewall near the brake booster. See attached pic.

 

Im sorry PA is rite i was thinking 4th.generation

 

Thanks. I had already cleaned that connection really well. So I guess on to the next thing, replace the ECM, unless someone else has a suggestion I should check before that.

 

Also check the fuses, see attached pic.

 

Slight correction, G101 is on the drivers end of the throttle body/intake on the 5th gen 4 cyl's. Those "other" things in the pic are vac lines. My 5th gen isn't home right now or I'd take a pic.

What issue are you having? Any recent work done to the car?

 

Attached is an image of ground G101 on the intake manifold.

 

Thanks. Thats the one I had cleaned really good already.

My problem is the check engine light never flashes, so the fuel pump doesn't prime, and the car wont start. Check engine light just stays on now.

It was flashing but took nearly 10-20 seconds to do so, then the fuel pump would prime, but now it doesn't flash at all. As stated before I have already tried a new master relay and same problem.

 

Did you check the fuses (post # 6)?
