Hi there this sound like a thermal circuit breaker tripping out, when they over heat they cut power like a blown fuse, but when they cool down they re set, i will have to check the wiring schematic to see if there is one fitted to the system.

Hi there,

I have been advised that Honda don't use this type of thermal circuit breaker, and that the ignition switch is more than likely your problem.
