SOURCE: 1998 Honda Accord: Radio/Cig lighter keeps blowing

Start with a visual inspection of the cigarette lighter. The chromed walls are the negative pole, and the bottom part is the positive (12v) pole. Evidently these two parts should not come in contact with each other, and if they do bend the metal with a fine screw driver. Make sure the vehicle is off, and preferably, with the fuse taken out, because the screwdriver will make a short. Also check that nothing metallic has dropped into the hole of the lighter, such as a screw. If nothing is found, take out the lighter socket and disconnect it. Check if the fuse continues to blow, and if this is the case, you know that the lighter is not the culprit. I left the radio as a second choice because reaching the back of the radio to unplug the harness is difficult, it requires disassembling the center console (Check elsewhere on fixya for the procedure, i think i published it once). Unplug the radio and see if this stops the fuse from blowing. If it stops shorting, then you know its the radio, but if it doesnt, then the wiring harness is shorting somewhere, in which case, i would recommend a mechanic, unless you are really good at disassembling dashboards, and checking for continuity and voltage on electrical circuits.

SOURCE: honda '98 accord fuse box locations

there is no driverside window fuse. The power window system works nsync with each other. If a fuse is out all windows will not work. Have the electrical connector checked on the switches or motor pwr connector. Also inspect the window regualator for damage. Hopefully this helps!!

Is there a fuse in the factory stereo of the Honda Accord?

There are two fuses, all in the fuse box. One for the radio itself (which probably is the one that went out) and another one for the night illumination, which works together with the dash lights / dimmer.
The one for the radio is on the passenger side fuse box. Look in the manual for the right location, I think it is #12 or 13

Why did my radio and my cig. lighter stopped working?

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard "All fuses are OK" or "I already checked the fuse" or "I know it's not the fuse"....I'd be a rich man!

When cigarette lighters quit working, 99% of the time the fuse is blown because someting got plugged into it like a defective phone charger. The other 1% of the time, it is because the lighter element is burned out or somebody essed with the wires to the cigarette lighter trying to install some kind of aftermarket equipment.

Humor me and check Fuse #9 (20 Amp) in the passenger side fuse and relay box.

Ican't locate the radio and cig.lighter fuse in my 98 honda accord

The fuse you are looking for is located in the Passenger's Under-Dash Fuse/
Relay Box. it is fuse number 9, and should have a 20 amp rating.
When you open the Right Side passenger door, look at the side of the dashboard,
adjacent to the front of the door, and you will see the Fuse Box cover.
Remove the cover, and find and reference the legend to help you locate the #9 fuse.

Clock and dash lights dont work or radio--

These items clock, radio, dash lights are usually fused on the same circuit. Please check the fuses for this problem. The fuse or fuses should be listed on the fuse box cover inside the interior fuse box. Replace the blown fuse if that is that problem. If it blows again, then the cig lighter circuit may be involved. Make sure the cig lighter is free of any objects, remove lighter, (push in part). Try new fuse while lighter is out, and if problem goes away, push in may be bad.
