I agree with you, I purchased the car used and when I bought it the guy told me I have to have the cruise control switch on to start it...and low and behold you do. I have no clue what that has to do with the starter other than maybe ther is some sort of ground? I do not even know where to start.

I don't understand what the cruise control has to do with starting the car, it should have nothing to do with starting.I don't understand what the cruise control has to do with starting the car, it should have nothing to do with starting.

I had the same problem. When I tried to engage the cruise control, the cruse control light flashed and the cruise control did not work. I also noticed that this happens more often when the outside temperatures are low (below 5 deg. C). The problem was in the brake switch. The switch is positioned at the brake pedal. On Accord 2003 it can be very easily removed by anti-clockwise rotation of the switch. You can replace the switch with a new one or you can clean the contacts of the old one, since the switch can be dismantled very easily.
Need a scanner ,read the codes , do what the shop manual tells you to do regarding testing and repair.
Gonna take a guess cruse control and tach problems probably a wheel sensor possible the ecu.
No, I don't think they started lighting them in the Accord until around 2005. I had a 2004 and always had to feel around for them in the dark. If I remember correctly, they had some ridges or bumps on them to help identify them by feel.
my 1997 honda accord cruise control fuse blow and the car start up but will not go in gear. I change the cruise control fuse the car goes in gear then the fuse blow again. WHAT IS THE MY CAR PROBLEM.
Pull up on the brake pedal. If that does not work check your brake light bulbs (LED brake lights will also keep your cruise control form working). Finally check all of the fuses. This system needs at least 3 different fuses to work properly.
There are three switches that must be on in order for the cruise to work. There is the main switch on the dash, there is a switch on the shift lever, and there is a switch on the brake pedal. The next time the cruise does not work, first pull the brake pedal up with your foot and try to set it again. If that does not work, try wiggling the shift lever. This may be a good place to start. My bet is with the brake switch. If that is the problem, it needs a minor adjustment and an easy fix.
