My ignition is starting to drive me crazy, I have to try it at least 3 to 4 times before it starts. its a 2017 honda crv and changing the battery last year didnt seem to solve the problem. I'm thinking of having the relays replaced and also the ignition. Can anyone help with suggestions on how I can go about it so i can get original parts at the best costs?
 
try the starter first, its the most common problem when a car doesnt start if that doesnt work you probably have an electrical problem
 
@lucid maestro I agree with crashbandit, you should check the starter first (applying battery power directly to it, bypassing the relays, switches, and all). helped my neighbour with the same problem before and it works
 
This sounds really frustrating! The relays and ignition can be possible culprits but if the suggestion above doesn't work. bring this to the dealer so they can take a look. For best costs, i think the Honda parts department is a good choice. Or maybe online shops!

Do check the starter relay and ignition switch first! And if anything, you may stick with OEM parts. Just check the numbers on HondaPartsNow so you're sure. If you don't got the budget, you can browse RockAuto or eBay too :)
