I need a new one. I just wanted to find out if anyone new of a site or parts store that was the cheapest.

It would be cheaper to get one from the junkyard and just re-solder the connections. If you do however decide to just get a new one, try www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

I think this is it (#9). You might want to call their number and just confirm.

I checked the link w261w261 gave, and #9 seems to be correct as is says RZ-0028 in parenthesis.

I would just heat up each connection, use a solder sucker, then resolder each joint. Itll work good as new

The internal components in mine were bad. I had to replace the whole thing to get the car starting right. :-(
And don't try to screw it back to the firewall, unless you're a contortionist. Just leave it hanging.

As a result of my struggles with the main relay, I bought a ratchet from Home Depot that, when you twist the handle, moves the socket drive. It would have made the removal and reinstallation of the relay much simpler for me. I think the tool cost $29.95.
