Don't know what is correct. In my owners manual this fuse is listed as
fuse #9 15 amps under the hood.. The cover for the fuse box list it as
the compressor fan 15 amp. One has to be wrong maybe i will figure
this out. Hate to go to the dealer. I went there last Summer and they
wanted to do $1000 worth of work. Took it to an independent who used
to work there and he did all the work for around $350. I am not sure
if he does electrical work but I do know he is honest and does good
work.

"That circuit is also only listed as being "hot" in the start position
of the key."

I think you mean ignition on position ?

Just quoting the book verbatim...it states fuse 9 is "hot in start" So
that would indicate that while the engine is turning over power is supplied
to the circuit...

let us clarify that this is a 96 accord...DX or LX or EX doesn't matter as
they all use the same manual.

Okay, just wondering because you said that the gauge assembly was on
that circuit, and I was wondering where the gauge assembly would get its
feed from if it wasn't from the ignition on position. Must be different
from my Civic.

Obviously the guage assembly gets it's power from some other source during
normal operation.

The power going to the guage assembly is actually for the break light bulb
check circuit. Accords have the brake light out indicator. The power from
fuse 9, during the start mode, powers this circuit and checks for burnt out
bulbs.

Okay, thanks.....sounds similar to my old '84 Volvo.

It is a 1996 Accord DX.
