Default rear demister relay?

Hi i have a problem with me rear demister not working, i have located the fuse in the small fuse box under the bonnet and that is ok. I understand there is a relay for the demister but i can not locate it, i have looked under the drivers side dash and located the fuse box there. I have 3 relay slots but only 1 filled with a relay and if i remove that relay the car wont start so i know its not that one, the other 2 slots are empty and dont even have wires to them. I have not removed any relays and the window demister did work when i got the car. My car is the gt model 2003, is the rear demister relay in a different location to this? I done a search here but could only find info for the version that has the relay in the fuse box under dash. Please help

p.s this car is not retrofit of the hardtop because it had the hardtop in the showroom as confirmed by honda as it was there test drive model when it was in honda from new.

cheers

Dash/clocks have a small relay in there to control the high powered relay. Not sure where the big one is. Is it in the engine bay?

Hi,Nottm_S2 i cant find the relay under the dash as it states on the demister guide. Like i said it doesnt have a third relay in fact it doesnt have a second relay and the one relay that is there controls the starter motor. One behind the clocks??? I had a issue with previous clocks and the relay stopped working around then but i replaced the clocks with another set but it still doesnt work. Is the small relay attached to the clocks? And can it be replaced? However i cant see that both clocks have same issue. There must be one somewhere else or there must be different locations for this relay. Is there no one here that knows?

I tried changing a few relays around but still the same, its definitely not the one with all the fuses under the dash. Does anyone know?

Sounds like the wire harness has disconnected / broken or the switch is FUBAR.

Have you had the centre console out? Or handbrake adjusted at a recent service?

Yes the brake were done recently but it wasn't working before that it went the same time as my speedo blew i replaced the clocks with another set from another car but still the same, what my problem is that i dont know where the main relay for the heated window is i know its definitely not the one on the fuse box as this is something to do with starter motor. I just need to find that relay first
