2003 Honda Accord Electrical Problem
Hello,
I have a 2003 Honda Accord DX with about 172,000 miles on it. I have had multiple electrical issues since I bought it, but it has gotten more severe. First, the radio light went out and in for awhile, now completely out. Next the radio would cut off for a few seconds when I started the car. Then my gauge cluster (everything but my fuel gauge) started to freak out, like it does when your alternator is going bad (I also have a new alternator). At the same time this happened the AC also went out with it. Note that I was running the AC on a hot day for about an hour and a half drive. Finally the AC and gauge cluster have no sign of life, after a day of on and off spurts. I've heard PCM maybe? but my car runs almost flawless, and of course Honda wants about $300 to even look at it. I am a broke college student trying to get by lol. I've had the car for 3 years. Any input would be helpful!
Thanks

Sounds like there may be a problem with the main interior fuse panel/multiplex unit assembly. What you are describing sounds like the previous generation electrical issue which was commonly caused by the interior fuse panel assembly. Just my thought on the matter. Good luck.
