Randolph,

I didn't know that about the older Hondas. I've never owned anything
older than the '95 Odyssey, which uses ground connections through the
'headlight switch', 'flash-to-pass switch', the 'dimmer switch', as well
as the 'DRL control unit'. If any of those grounds are poor, the
associated relays won't trip, or your right high beam will glow
(sometimes). I think it's because of the introduction of DRL that the
design seems to be so convoluted on the '95. Ours came from Eastern
Canada, and has had a few electrical issues caused by corrosion.

Would you agree that 90% of people in the world think that 'short' is
the right term to describe an 'open'?
