I've never taken a main relay apart before, so is it a no-brainer as to what
I will have to resolder? Is there a URL or some sort of reference guide I
can read that will tell me about the inner-workings of the main relay? I
just don't want to solder the wrong thing or screw it up some other way.

Thanx,

Jonathan

A Google search for honda main relay gives you exactly what you want.
http://www.markl.f9.co.uk/howto/elec...main-relay.htm is
one of many sites that came up.
