Go to your local library and ask the Librarian to get you on-line to the Automotive Repair Reference Center, and then to the EBSCO database...you will find all of your wiring diagrams there.

The PGM Main relay is outboard of the glove box. You can see it if you get the glove box out of the way, but to remove it, you need to pop the triangular shaped plastic trim off of the end of the passenger side of your dash. The relay is held in place with one 10mm bolt and the electrical connector.

When you tested the battery did you have it load tested? It is possible the battery is good but is losing power overnight due to an open circuit. This will give you the slow crank in the mornings. Once the vehicle has been running and charged the battery back up it works fine the rest of the day. Car batteries provide you with two needed items at start up, Amperage and Voltage. It is possible to have 12 or 13 volts and the battery not be able to crank the motor over because it can't generate the Amperage needed. Your problem is not the Starter Relay, as someone else mentioned if that goes out it will not crank at all. If teh battery has an overnight drain or weak cell it will ahve problems generating the Amperage required and cause your problem. Unfortunately the only way to really identify this will be to let the vehicle sit overnight and then remove the battery and take it to auto zone and have it load tested.
