4 electrical problems on the same day!

4 electrical problems surfaced in the same day, which leads me to believe they are all related..

1.
The power doors no longer work, with the remote, or with the lock/unlock switch on the drivers door.

2.
When using the Remote Starter, it sends a continuous start signal, when the car starts, it still tries to start until i shut it off.

3.
The A/C clutch does not turn on.

4.
The parking brake light is constantly lit up


I checked Fuses and Relays with a multimeter, they seemed fine.

Any ideas?

I ordered a new fusebox which is currently in shipment. Check your fuses before doing so.
It's most likely your MCU.

Replaced the old fuse box with the new one,

Results:
AC works
Power Locks Work
Door Chime Works
Intermittent wipers work
Parking Brake Light is off
Remote starter works.

Online price of fuse box $149 + shipping
Honda price $379.00
I read people were charged 4 hours labour plus the part which was in the range of $800.00

Hope this helps people in the future, the Multiplex Control Unit on the FuseBox was at fault.
