The "backup" fuse has been present from at least 1990. I did some checking
in my shop manuals to see what pulling that fuse actually did.

It looks like if that fuse were blown, the ECU and various other things
would be reset at the same time as the clock.

Have you actually had the clock-reset thing happen to you personally? And
was it fixed by replacing the fuse?

The backup (radio) fuse has been replaced. The radio has kept its presets
and the clock displays again. Now how do I get the radio to recognize the
CD changer again?

I have experienced the radio "code" & it was that fuse, didn't notice the
clock at the time.

I found the service manual for the '96 Odyssey, which for all intents and
purposes is an Accord with captain's chairs. The description in the FSM for
that fuse (#39 in the under-hood box) is "PCM, clock, audio unit". Its sort
of interesting that the FSM only gives descriptions of the fuses' functions
and does not list the names on the fuse box cover. At least in this case, I
believe that fuse or the wiring coming off it will account for both the OP's
problems.

Can't help with that, but if the fuse blows again, I think the changer & its
associated wiring would be the first thing to check.

Thanks. I'll add this when I get a chance. It's common enough.

Re: What to check on 96 Accord EX
 

I am now thinking the ECM may be involved, because I now have a check engine
light on (after replacing the fuse). The disk changer is the one that has
been in the car since purchased used in 1998, so I would think it odd, but
not implausible, that it would cause problems now. Still haven't gotten the
radio to re-recognize the disk changer yet. I will try unplugging and
replugging when I have the time to rip apart the dashboard and console.
Thanks for the help so far,
