Has any recent work been done on the car?

Are all fuses ok (under hood and under dash)?

Yes. I had a headand intake gasket put on. I checked all the fuses and all of the fuses and they looked ok. What else could it be. Everything went out at the same time except the lighter and radio. They went out a day or two later.

Sometimes fues can look ok, did you pull them and test them. Again now with the additional info, sounds like a fuse or ground problem......how long after the work did the issue(s) happen.

It went out about a week after I had the work done. I replaced the ground wire at the battery. Where are the other ground wires? I guess ill try to replace all the fuses. Thanks for the help.

The common DIY thread on top of the gen tech help forum has a link to the online shop manuals post. The hondatech link has a 94 shop manual that you can download. The electrical section has a part called wire harness ground locations that will show you the ground locations.

Like Poorman said do not go by the way the fuse looks ,, and no need to replace ALL the fuses,, get a test lite and chk them to make sure that they are ok or not ,, replace just as needed ,, if all the fuses are ok , then there is another issue , needs to be diagnosed

I checked all the fuses. The fuses are good but the fuse box isnt getting power to only the ones that dont work. I guess ill change the fuse box board.

First-OP sorry the next bit.

Desert-Nice to see you again, hope all has been well my friend.....

OP-Do the power door locks work?

Double check the "main" fuses-the ones with the clear/plastic top..common between the locks/window/sunroof is #15 80amp for power (also gauges). Also note that common between the same three (locks/windows/sunroof) is ground G401 and 403. If you are not getting power to the smaller amp fuses, first check the main fuse, then pull the panel and make sure the wires are good-have a volt meter to test continuity?

EDIT: All of this can be found in the manual you can download...for free....in the post PA talked about. Yes reading wire diagrams is not fun but it can save you $'s and time...

Sorry to comment on a old thread but I'm having, somewhat, the same problem. I've ordered my power window motor switch, hooked it up and it did the same thing as my old one. Which was ONLY roll UP my passenger side window. I can't roll down or up any off my windows except front passenger. I have checked all fuses and relays, even switched them out because I know they can look good and yet still be bad. I'm clueless! Help?!

95 Honda Accord EX, by the way.
