2008 RDX won’t start, and I’m pretty sure it’s the starter relay, but I’m too dumb to figure out which one it is! Can anyone help??

Here's a diagram of the relays under the hood (near the bottom of the page)

Hi, which relay is for the starter and where is it located? Thanks.

Not sure if you are still needing this info, but I found it and it is not in the engine compartment. My wife's car was having issues the last few days with starting. Sometimes it would start right up, other times it wont start at all and other times it would start but it would struggle. So i dived into this and started with the relay first, but it didn't help. I am now moving on to the ignition switch and keeping my fingers crossed.

The relay is located in the fuse panel under the drivers side dashboard. However, it is located on the top section, which you cannot see by looking at it from under the dashboard. On the side where the controls are for the mirrors, that section pulls out and off. Once removed you can see the top section of the fuse box. The relay is the black one on the right hand side. I have attached pictures.

Have you resolved it yet? I've been having start issues mainly in the morning and wondering if it is the relay? It sometimes happen in the middle of the day, but, mostly in the mornings. When I turn the car on, all the dash lights function but the starter wouldn't turn as-if a relay was not switching over to let the starter crank.

Had this issue with my GF's car. It was a dead starter completely. It failed like it was a start relay but in reality the starter brushes were completely worn out. I made a post a bit back about the replacement and disassembly of the old relay
