  3. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between relay connector terminal No. 5 and body ground. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check wiring from ignition switch and main relay. Check fuse No. 23 on Prelude, No. 2 on Accord, or AGC on Civic and Civic Del Sol. Check wiring from fuse box to main relay. Repair or replace as necessary.
  4. Connect voltmeter to connector terminal No. 6 and body ground. Turn ignition switch to START position. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check wiring between ignition switch and main relay. Check fuse No. 9. Check wiring from fuse box to main relay. Repair or replace fuse or wiring as necessary.
