    '97 Civic - What relay is over on the right hand side of the glovebox?
    My civic is a 97 4 dr lx. If the relay is on the driver side then what relay is over on the righthand side of the glove box right above the computer. Because that is the one making all the racket. The description you gave me sounds like the one over by the glovebox. It dementions are about 1 by 1 by 3 or there abouts.

    You are right. On a 1997 Civic, the Main Relay is located on the passenger's side, next to the kick panel. Over time, cold solder joints on the circuit board form, due to different coefficients of expansion for components, circuit board, and solder. Solder, being the weakest, gives way. Some people have been successful in resoldering their relays. To do the job properly, all joints need to be "desoldered" first. Without the proper tools, this is more difficult than you would think. Since this is a critical electrical system component, that is notorious for being problematic, I would buy a new one.

    Here's approximately what they cost:
