Thanks,you were absolutely correct,it goes on and off exactly as you described.

I called the local dealership and inquired if they sell the circuit board as a part. They said no,but I could buy the whole speedometer for $385.00. Guess I'll take another poster's advice and head to the nearest scrap yard that will allow me to pull the part for likely about $20.00.

I guess Honda really raised some of their prices. Local dealership many times will mark-up over MSRP too. Years ago when I had my 1995 Accord, the internet Honda price for the speedometer head was like $100-$150.

Yes, Common Problem. I went to the wrecker, and grabbed the whole speedometer piece, replaced, no issues since.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I replaced the circuit board yesterday and the speedometer is working perfect,only time will tell if it is a long-term solution. I tested the accuracy with my GPS and found that the speed indicated on the speedometer to be precise and accurate;never thought a speedometer could be spot-on! Total cost at a pick-n-pull...less than $5.00.
