Electrical gremlins wipers/windows
'92 Prelude Si
Alright, having some hokey electrical issues. I first noticed that my power windows stopped working when I turned off the ignition. They are supposed to work after you shut off the car until you open the door, they did - now they don't. While the key is on, they work fine. On top of that, I now have no intermittent wipers - just off/dead/low/high. I've checked every single fuse both under the hood and in the cabin and they are all good.
I could see my wiper switch being bad, my next step is most likely going to be to order a new one and see if that works but any ideas about the windows?

underneath your clutch fluid tank there is a relay. it's the intermittent wiper relay. replace it. as for the windows; not sure.
Guess I forgot to update this when I fixed it.
Yeah, so apparantly I hadn't checked ALL the fuses 'cause I happen to see a 15A fuse that was blown ("Interior Lights") under the hood. Turns out, Honda uses the interior light fuse to control dome light, intermittent wipers, lighted ring around keyhole, and the power windows after the car is off.
Everything works. Idiot.
