BobF - you have to disconnect all the cable connectors from the fuse box to remove it. Yes, its a real P in the A! but why bother? check out the good photos in the post just above yours. they show a small white plastic cup with the rotating switch mechanism inside. this is mounted on the bottom of the ignition switch mechanism with 2 small screws and attached to the other end of the wiring harness you're trying to get at behind the fuse box. If you've already bought the new switch assembly/harness, just pop this white plastic cup off and remove the rotating switch mechanism. This is the part that is worn and causing your stalling problems. swap the new one with the old one and you're good to go! There's nothing wrong with the old wire harness. shouldn't take more than 15-20 min to swap out these contacts. If you haven't already bought the $100 harness, save some money and find some used contacts in an older Accord at your local u-pull-it like the previous poster says. (pop several sets and keep the ones that are least worn)
