Zero current appears to be available, no interior lights whatsoever, radio station presets are dead, etc. However the battery is not dead and upon a jumpstart the car runs fine for another 3 months. In fact you can turn off the car immediately after the jump start and then restart the car. Fuses look good. The problem is correlated with heavy rain or snow. Its almost as if the car lost its boot-up routine memory if there is such a thing. Any ideas?
Please check the following:
- Check the specific gravity of the battery.
- Perform the battery test.
- Perform the voltage drop test.
- Check the battery terminals for corrosion, sulfate deposits and looseness. (Remove the battery terminals, wash them with Luke warm water, dry them, spray wet type contact cleaner and fix them back).
- Perform alternator test with and without load.
- Check the main fuses, battery cables and connectors in the fuse and relay box under the hood.
Hope that works.

you are right, some Honda's have a radio code, most of the time on the radio chassis itself, but like my sisters she had to gone online and give them her VIN and they sent her the code
This exact same thing happened to me, it can be a number of problems. You might not have enough battery charge to get the car going since the fuel pump in this car is electronic, my car did not start but when i took it to a mechanic thinking the battery was perfect because lights and all were on they jump started it and it started then immediately died, i also had a choke pull off failure, leaks in my carburetor, and the float was to heavy causing flooding. 185 dollars later and a rebuilt carburetor my car had a smooth idle and turned on immediately after turning ignition. but then to find out my alternator was bad hence the battery only having enough power for the radio and lights.so in short try jumping the car even though the battery seems good, check your carb or get it checked by a mechanic, then check if your alternator is ok. if i waited for two days without attempting to start car then trying it would start if i held the ignition and pushed the gas pedal down until it started. (see if thats the case for you) my guess is you carb, battery, and alternator.

Hi there:
You will have to pinpoint what the engine is missing Spark / Fuel / Compression
All
three of these are tested when the engine is being cranked over. There
are two way of checking for fuel. Fuel pressure and fuel trigger. Both
are very important and must be present for the engine to start. Fuel
pressure is self explanatory. You just hook up the gage and see what the
reading is. Fuel trigger is check with a noid light. The injector gets
unplugged and the noid light gets plugged in to the injector clip. With
the engine cranking over, this light must blink. This is the signal to
the injectors from the computer. You can have all the fuel pressure in
the world, but it wont matter if the injector is not pulsing gas into
the cylinder like it should.
Compression tester,
spark tester, fuel pressure gage and noid light are all accessible at
your local auto store. All three tests play a very important part in
diagnosing a no start condition. Be extremely careful when doing these
tests.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important
and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some
testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Did you ever figure out what it was? I have a 97 accord doing the exact same thing
