I have intermittant crank / no start issues on this 2006 CRV. The vehicle usually starts on the 2nd try and detailed info isn’t available for this generation. After seeing video and blogs, I am trying to find, test, fix the main control relay that may be causing this problem.
The relays are different than the videos and blogs for earlier Hondas. I cannot locate any single main control relay. I have seen references to PGM-FI relay but this may not be the relay i need to check.
Information points to being behind the glovebox. But not sure where to look for these relays.Need some guidance here.

Found this YouTube video for your year CRV.
I suspect, by the time your CRV rolled off of the production line, Honda had stopped using “Main Relays.” Moving out past 2000, most automotive designers went away from single relay systems (because trying to cram so many different systems into one relay is a headache). These days, the fuel pump, ignition and ECM are all activated by individual relays, unlike back in the 90s when Honda was using one big multi-pole relay to turn everything on.
On the short end, the one big cure all relay is gone, but on the other hand, its easier to isolate systems and find faults that way.
