Interior lights, ignition and headlight alarms not working, rear defrost not working, intermittent wipers ot working.
Fuses all ok
any ideas

 

97 accord 4dr ex 4cyl

 

just curious does anything have power at all?

 

Yes the wipers work when turned on but not on intermittent.
Windows work

 

read somewhere about another accord with the same issues. They said it was the ICU. Not sure what that is. The ICU is the ignition control unit in the distributor but that's not the problem. Think they mean the multiplex unit on the inside fuse panel?

 

Yes,sounds like an electrical problem.....

 

Correct, inner panel has a 8 pin connector that goes to the ICU(Integrated Control Unit), not to be confused with the ICM(Ignition Control Module) in the distributor.
Check the #1 fuse inner panel. This controls the above mentioned issues you have, as well as the oil light, and rear defrost IIRC.

Check the fuses first before blaming the ICU.
If a new fuse blows again, you will have to troubleshoot as to what device may be faulty.

 

Again, using the 94 and 95 wire diagrams the dome light gets its power from the underhood fuse #37. Then follow what else is powered by that fuse and hummmm.

Not sure if the 96 and 97 have a different circuit or not.
