where to buy main relay?
 

i accidentaly shorted out my main relay, i took off the cover along time ago so the board is out in the open. As i was tucking the relay away i heard a snap noise and the car shut off >:( my question is, is there some kinda temperary fix? i remember reading somewhere saying something like you can "bypass" the relay and wire up a constant power wire to the fuel pump wire ???

well i wasent technically working on anything, it was starting to fall out of place so i had to tuck it back up there because little things like that bother me. I guess thats what i get for taking off the PROTECTIVE cover :-[

Okay so the bad move wasn't the battery, it was the no cover on the electrical components.

I doubt the part stores will carry them. There only around a 100 bucks and worth it my book

did you make sure you didn't just blow a fuse?

I would agree with that. I don't even think they are $100 when I was looking at one for mine.
