If you're wondering where to find the starter relay in your 2012 Honda Civic, look no further. Located under the hood near the engine, the starter relay is situated on the driver's side next to the battery. Its main function is to facilitate the operation of the starter by controlling the power supply to turn it on and off. When the relay malfunctions, it can prevent the starter from working correctly. If you suspect an issue with your starter, it's wise to inspect the starter relay initially before considering costlier repairs.
