Just trying to figure out *which* module it is... this accord is
loaded (only options it doesn't have is the electronic instrument
package and the sun roof) so there are modules stuck everywhere. I
fact we're trying to make an "inventory" of modules we can identify -
and see what we have "left over"... but with more than two dozen
"boxes" scattered all over the car... I'm hoping someone "knows"...

Been there, done that - radio, stop light sensor relays (all five);
power lock relay (oops that was in the '91); main relay (I doubt
there's an 87 still running with it's original/un-repaired relay ;>)
). But yeah, not at all shy about soldering "stuff" - but I'd rather
not pull stuff that isn't part of the problem. I'm quite sure some of
that stuff was installed in layers as the car was assembled - with
little thought to fixing it later... I know the guys at the local
Honda dealership cringe when they see my 87 roll in... an then
relieved to see me heading for the parts counter...
Anyway - thanks for your suggestions...
best regards...

:-)
I'll be back for my $5'er if it turns out any different.
Given that the price of the unit will pretty well total the car I'm
probably gonna just have to live with it (or die without it...whatever).

I haven't checked in to this yet (in the manual) but I'll give it a look
in the near future.

City miles do mean more brake use and pad / rotor wear than highway miles.
However, the only way to be sure is to measure the brake pads and compare
the measurements to the wear limits in the service manual.
