Agreed, that's most likely... and if that is the case, it's probably a factory
recall item, and your local dealer should fix it for free.

Actually, I can't find that one listed as a recall for the '90 Accord, but it is
a recall item on the 3rd-gen ('86-'89) Accords - see here:

You can always call the dealer or stop by, and have them run the VIN number, and
they'll tell you what recalls, if any, apply to your car.
