2005 Accord Electrical System Failure
I am encountering a problem with the electrical system in my 2005 Accord LX (V-6 engine). There is no power to the ignition switch. None of the interior electrical components work (i.e. alarm, door locks, lights). Yet, the battery is fully charged with 12.5 volts. I should point out the battery is less than two months old.
I tested what I could with a multi-meter. I checked my ground, it is good. I have power going from the battery to the starter, and from the battery to the under the hood fuse box. I inspected all of the fuses in both the under the hood fuse box and the interior fuse box, but all look fine. I pulled the relay affixed to the under the hood fuse box (I think it is a 5-terminal relay), and the contacts look good.
I am at a loss where to look next. Has anyone encountered this problem?

You should test the electrical portion of the ignition switch. Certain wires will read open/closed depending on the position of the ignition switch. I would suggest getting a Haynes manual for your car, or buy the pdf of the shop manual online for your car.
