I'm an electronic technician, so I fixed the board myself, but the main relay only costs $50, so it's not too bad to replace the whole assembly....
Had the same problem with my Integra. It's pretty common for most Honda vehicles to have this happen over time. I was able to use one that was made for a Honda Civic on my car.
common issue on late 80's and 90's honda/acura. problem is that the car will not turn on after being turned off. usually occurs in hot weather. i think acura may have resolved this issue in the later integras, well i hope so atleast. Mine is has been good....Knock on wood
my 88 civic did this.....i was so stupid that i went to buy a new battery. doh...and kragens(douchebags) tested my battery and lied to me that i needed a new battery.
