1988 Honda Accord carbcontrolled Where is the fuel pump relay located?

The fuel pump relay location on a 1988 Honda Accord with a carburetor is in the underhood fuse box. However, it's not always labeled as a "fuel pump relay". On many carbureted Hondas of that era, the fuel pump is controlled indirectly, often through the main relay or a component within the fuse box itself. There isn't a dedicated, easily identifiable fuel pump relay like you'd find on fuel-injected models.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Locate the underhood fuse box: This is usually near the battery, often on the driver's side fender well.

2. Consult your owner's manual: The diagram in your owner's manual will show the fuse box layout and may identify the relay responsible for the fuel pump's operation. Even if it doesn't directly name a "fuel pump relay," it may show a relay in the circuit.

3. Use a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram specific to your 1988 Honda Accord will be the most accurate way to identify the relay. You can often find these online through Honda forums or repair manuals.

Important Note: Since there isn't a clearly labeled fuel pump relay, testing the system requires a multimeter and understanding of basic electrical troubleshooting, or professional assistance from a mechanic. Simply swapping relays based on assumptions could lead to further problems.
