This would be in the computer system. A qualified mechanic can help you find and fix this part to avoid issues.
Nope. One is a relay, the other is a control module. The control module TELLS the relay when to operate.
The main relay is what sends power to the fuel pump and ignition.
If you are looking for "Main Relay", it is under steering and behind cruise control unit. You will need to remove cruise control unit before you can see it. I believe it has "Main" or "Main Relay" words on it and it is brown color. What problem do you have? I have changed this main relay a few years back due to hard to start when hot.
The relay's coil(s) would be a load, but the main function of a relay is to act as a switch to control power to a larger load.
Fuel
The main relay is under the dash directly above the Cruise Control unit. It is not behind the main electrical panel that Honda claims. very easy to change i did it start to finish in under an hour
On the left side of steeling wheel, under neat the light control unit. Main relay is about $70.00
The main relay and the fuel pump relay are the same. Take the fuel pump relay and swap it with the main relay and see if that will help you....
The fuel relay is also called the main relay. it is located under the dash behind the cruise control box right above the brake pedal You will have to remove the criuse control box to see it. it is a seven pin relay tha controls the entire starting system. It is attached by two bolts ( 10mm)
Ok , there are 2 relays, the main relay and the fuel pump relay, these control 90 % of the sportages functions. They are famous for going out, remember the main relay energizes the fuel pump relay with one of its contacts. Replace both relays at the same time. About $ 16.00 each from Kia. They are located passenger side of engine in black fuse box in front of battery.
The main relay can be removed by removing the three main wires. The relay is secure with four retaining screws. Remove the retaining screws.
Fuse f23 in main fuse box. But, there is also a speed control cut-off relay 19 somewhere.probably it if you can find it. It is blue.
