What I was asking, is whether there's some kind of checklist of all the
relays, switches, etc., that need to be checked systematically. I had
heard there is more than one relay involved.
Barring that, it really does degenerate into a fi****ng expedition.

The other poster has it right, I think: It's time to take it to an
actual Honda dealer and let them struggle with it. I've already had the
compressor and the clutch relay replaced, so I'm sort of halfway toward
replacing the A/C system already. :-)

BTW, that's quite amazing.
I can remember when if you owned a 12 year old Chevy or Buick, you had
to pay a junk dealer $50 just to haul it away. The depreciation on
gas-powered Hondas is surprisingly slow.
