Ok here's the deal, I don't have my CB7 anymore, haven't for over a year now, but a friend of mine just bought a slightly wrecked CB7 for $550 and was driving it home when it all of a sudden decided to go kaput.
The car is a 92 LX, automatic transmission, 217K on the clock. Other than the driver's side headlight area being smashed in the car ran like a charm and drove fine, with the exception of some motor vibration (much more noticeable when put into reverse, it would rattle hard), which I think is probably a busted motor or transmission mount.
Well anyway, he went to turn the car around in a parking lot after making a wrong turn, and when he put it into reverse it suddenly just sputtered and died. When turning the key again it simply wouldn't do anything. We tried jumping it, nothing.
Now here's what's got me confused, the battery is still holding a charge (it's new for one thing) because the horn, brake lights, and hazard lights still work fine, but the HVAC, headlights, taillights, turn signals, power windows, and of course STARTER don't do a thing, like they're not getting power whatsoever.
Now I seem to remember there being an issue with the main relay going out in these cars (or was that my 3G Accord?). Do you guys think this could be the issue? Or should I look somewhere else? Thanks!

That's what I get for replying as soon as I wake up!
