Integrated control unit replacement

[Backk InTheCB7]

My rear defroster, among other things(which I'll get to later)has not worked for the better part of 2 years. After doing some reading, outside of fuses which I have checked, both in car and under dash, the integrated control unit is the issue. I came to this conclusion as my dome light does not work, no chime when key is left in ignition, no intermittent setting on wipers.

My question is, is the best way to resolve these problems to replace the whole unit, or can it be repaired in anyway? I did quite a bit of searching, both on here and Google and didn't turn up much on how to actually replace the unit.

Any information on this job would be much appreciated. Also, is an integrated control unit from any 90-93 Accord okay? Or does it need to be specific to your year/model? I have a 1990 LX 4 door.

Thanks,

It could probably be repaired, but you'd have to know what you are looking for if it's not obvious physical damage.

All models should be the same.

Replace the entire unit...It's the easiest and fastest way to go.

Thanks for the fast reply. Is it just a few bolts/screws holding it to the frame and I imagine a wiring harness? Is there any cutting or soldering involved when doing the replacement?
