I've had this problem with my 2004 Accord for almost 200,000 miles. All night long, the radio console flashes on and off even though the key is in my pocket. If I leave the radio/CD on, then it also plays for about half a second. A high end stereo repairman said it was a known problem to him caused by bad solder on that Accord, and resoldered all the places he saw where it had run. That fixed things for about six months (he did warn me it might start happening again). Recently it flashes so much that if I leave it for 4 or more days, it won't start. A friend suggested removing the Radio Fuse if I'm going out of town. Will that work? Where is that fuse?
