Icon3 No power Radio/Clock: 05 Accord LX

No power on Radio/Clock, but I can bring it back by unplugging and plugging the 7.5A fuse (radio) under drivers side.

Suddenly power will go down while its running (after few days), will never come back unless i unplug and plug the 7.5A fuse again.
In average this cycle is happening once a week.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Audio unit is toast. Same happened to my neighbors car, pretty soon the battery will start draining because the unit is fried, look into an aftermarket one, or oem replacement

you mean the audio unit is drawing too much power?
It thats the case, then the fuse should have been blown.

But 7.5A fuse is alright.

Can you please elaborate. I see in ebay used once are selling at ~$200.

No it shorts internally causing the audio unit to draw from the battery, has nothing to do with the vehicle fuses. My neighbor had the same exact problem as you are describing, he actually happened to go outside at night and saw the radio on all by itself with no key in the ignition and the car locked up lol. You removing the fuses is just temporarily resetting the unit. Until it happens to act up again.

It's a known problem. If you have less than 100k there is a chance honda will warranty the circuit board but I am not sure with the age of the vehicle. Best bet is to get an aftermarket head unit and the installation kit that takes the place of the center pocket.
