This just happened to me too. Turn signals work fine, but occasionally will not work. Hazards don't work at all though. I'm going to check this out later to see what comes up.

More than a main relay problem? by pj_columbia

Need some help from those of you experiencing and conquering the main relay problem. I am on my 3d relay and continue to experience a similar problem - when it gets hot and muggy the car won't start. Once started I experience no problems the rest of the day. AND the starting problem ONLY happens when it's hot and muggy. My wife just traveled out west and back and experienced the problem a few times and I swapped out the main relay a month before she left. I bought the last one from the dealer thinking that I might have gotten a bum relay from someplace that wasn't the dealer. They've all been MITSUBA RELAY ASS'Y, MAIN RZ-0088 12V JAPAN. Has anyone else been able to correct the problem successfully? I took the car to my mechanic 2 years ago when the problem started to get out of hand. He replaced the plugs and distributor rotor. My wife is ready to trash the car and this is the only thing wrong with it; I hate to get rid of it...THANKS for your help.

.Here is a link to the main relay. There is a lot of info to read but there is one thing you can try with the relay that is giving you problems, mount it upside down. Heat rises and affects the soldered joints. Upside down gets the heat away from the soldered joints. There is also a section on drilling more holes to let the heat out:

Thanks, Corkscrew - I broke open one of the relays and it's Greek to me. I'll check it out with someone from the shop I take the car to. Appreciate your insight!

96 Accord O2 sensor by rwyatt80

I just recently replaced my O2 sensor (a few weeks ago; after the cat converter) and it went bad....because I have a performance exhaust, should I just go with a performance sensor, or stick with OEM???

Depending on your mileage, your o2 sensor may still be covered on the the Honda FACTORY recall. Its covered for up to 13years or 130k miles iirc. I took it to the dealership and they replaced it for me for free. Heh, they even changed my oil.
 
Good luck!

Not to nitpick, but it is 14y/150k.
 
How do I know? I have replaced two in my car's lifetime under this recall, for free.

Radiator Hoses Collapsed on '96 Accord EX by zguy77
Jun 22, 2009 (7:18 pm)

I was running some errands the other day and looked down at my temperature gauge to find that it was well beyond the red. So as soon i got home i shut the car off and popped the hood to take a look at the coolant level to find that it was bone dry. I also noticed that two hoses, the upper and the lower, were collapsed. Does this mean that the hoses were old and just needed replaced or is there something else going on that would have caused this to happen? Anyone with some advise would be much appreciated.
