Nice jokes..... I seen in the manual that they were main relays B-33 but what are the fuctions of them? Everything in the car operates other than my 6 port actuators are stuck. So I am taking that the car does not need the relays. Can someone tell me the functions of the "Main Relays"? Sounds important..... ;]

look, you need them. i know one is used for fuel. you can jump it with a jumper. i had to when performing tests on my SE. leave them in. they weigh less than a pound and will hurt nothing by being there. a relay acts kinda like a fuse for open and closed circuit functions. trust me, leave them there. your 6 ports are stuck for other reasons other than relays. do a search on "sticking actuators" or "actuators" to find that answer.

I wasnt posting this to ask if i can take them off...they are not there! the previous own has done work to the car and I am coming to find out that some of what he did was a swap from a 12a. There is one relay in place of these two, and to me it looks exactly like a fuel pump relay. I had to purchase a fuel pump relay for my old 12a awhile back and this relay looks exactly like it, but the fuel pump relay on a 12a is up under the dash. So I am maining trying to find out if this is something I will need to replace.

i would get both relays back to stock. are you going from a 12A that someone put into an SE back to the 13B or was it a 13B swap into a non SE?

This is a stock SE... i was referencing to my "Old" 12a when I had to replace the fuel pump relay. But for some reason the previous own has used some 12a parts on the SE... The steering box is from a 12a, and the transmission is from a 12a, which sux because I would like to have that higher 5th gear. Do you know if you can use a SE drive shaft with the 12a box in there?

you can use the SE driveshaft. the only difference between the 12A trans and the 13B trans is a slightly taller 5th gear. which is only about 400 rpm lower.
