Icebox is right. And if you get a "new" used relay, you will eventually have the same problem. Here's how to fix a main relay:

Your relay might look different, but the repair procedure will be the same for all main relays.

Main Relays will fit 85-00 at least, every Civic and Integra, some of the Preludes are different and possibly Accords. The only difference is size and color.
And most of the time its just the cold solder joints you can fix yourself easy.

The only issue with the 92-200 Civic and the 94 up Integra releasus they are the same 8 plug connector and the same pinout but the actual connector latch is offest from center so a quick swapout with a newer connector and you are golden for the later models.
