Today I discovered I was missing a single fuse under my hood, It is labeled 7.5amp "Radio" on the fuse box cover. When I put the fuse back in, my seat belt moves to the forward position on the passenger side when i open the door, but wont go back when i close it. Drivers side doesn't move at all. My interior lights only come on when i open my drivers door, with or without the 7.5amp "radio" fuse. I cant drive around with the seat belt forward, so the fuse will remain out of the car for now. Someone said that Honda has a lifetime warranty on their seat belts, i might go have that looked at. In the meantime, what does that 7.5amp radio fuse do OTHER than the seat belts?

Underhood and in-car fusebox diagrams for 1991 Accord
The interior lights aren't on the 7.5 backup fuse. Check the little slides in the doorjams by the latch for functionality...not that it's the definite fix for your issue but I had a bad one on my wagon and it fixed my interior light problem. -
Before i get really really excited here... It also says that fuse 39, which is what im missing, powers the ECU, clock, TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, and my stereo.... I cant tell if my ECU is jacked up, cuz idk what to look for, but my clock doesnt work, and my trans shifts funny, but my radio works. do you think that fuse could be jackin my bike? in terms of my trans shifting wierd and my clock not working? sorry to get off topic here but i think you just answered a really big issue i have been having.Originally posted by 5sp5drCB View PostUnderhood and in-car fusebox diagrams for 1991 Accord

Are you talking about the Radio (backup) fuse? The red one in the upper right corner?

Yes, that fuse is gone. Its function is the clock, radio, ECU, and TCU right?Originally posted by dj_ender View PostComment

Not sure about TCU but DEFINITELY the ECU, and it holds the engine "settings" in memory. Would explain some of your issues.Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

On 5spd5drCB's picture he posted, fuse 24 (looks like that's the fuse im missing) controls the ECU, TCU, CLOCK, and the radio/stereo. If that fuse is missing, would that explain my 4k rpm 4th gear max speed of 90? or the slipping from 3rd to second gear (as in downshifting to second from 3rd), or the random downshifts making my car hit 5000 rpms when i barely give it gas (very rare). What else could this missing fuse do?? Please Tell me moreOriginally posted by dj_ender View Post
I haven't tried replacing it then driving, because it jacks with my seat belts. (makes sense if it controls the ECU) I need to bring my car to Honda real quick and figure my seat belt issue out. when i plug that fuse in only my passenger side seat belt moves forward, then refuses to come back. and driver side doesn't move at all XD

Why dont you just put fuses in the spots that are missing and see how she runs? They are meant to be there for a reason.-Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

I agree. I'm just a little weary about this seat belt issue. I have Tuesday off. This might entitle a trip to a Honda dealer. I heard through the grape vine that Honda warranties the seat belts for life. think they will charge me to just look at them?Originally posted by dj_ender View PostComment

They have a recall/warranty, but it only covers a certain portion of the seat belt. And I THINK it has to do with the part thats broke on yours, don't quote me though. No, they should look at it for free.Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

Well that's good to know, Ill give them a call tomorrow probably and ask them about it. A friend said they will try their best to not have to fix it. What should I do to prevent this? Print out a recall or something?Originally posted by dj_ender View PostComment

They know what it covers. They WILL replace it if its covered under the recall. People think its the ENTIRE set belt system, it's not.Originally posted by Mishakol129Comment

Sweet, I just sent the closest Honda dealership an email telling them what I drive and what its doing, i told them that I read about a recall and was wondering if they would look at the car, free of charge. Lets see what they say. If not there is a 1-800 number that i can call. Some sort of Honda service line.Comment
