 The computer control issue is unresolved. the factory default settings for the air conditioning were lost after a battery exchange. expensive charges for hourly fishing expeditions have not appealed to me. the air conditioner works it just doesn't apply to the appropriate buttons on the control panel they settings are off line. honda was no help to me. today, my ignition coil went. honda said it was not covered via factory service bulletin although the accord was.
