You tried it in neutral but did you take it out of park and force it back into park? Just a suggestion since sometimes the switch that tells it that it is in park needs a bit of a nudge sometimes.

    Yes I tried this. I have also checked all fuses.

SOURCE: 97 Breeze electrical issue. Battery

percyhey, The first idea is to check the starter itself. You will need a test light for this procedure. Jack up the car and put jackstands under the frame to support it. PLEASE DO NOT go under the car with out them. Ramps would be easier and safer if you have them. Locate the starter and the little wire going to the solenoid. Remove the wire and find a good ground for the test light. The negative battery terminal is best if your test light wires are long enough. If not then use the body or engine as a ground and test this by touching the test light probe to the large wire on the starter and see if it lights up. If the small wire is bolted to the starter then you dont have to remove it, just make sure that it is intact. Touch the test light probe at the small wire and have someone try to start the engine. If it lights up then you have power going to the starter and the solenoid is malfunctioning and the starter needs to be replaced. Seeing that you have already tested the fuses and relays and replaced the ignition switch then this is the only possibility left. If you dont have power going to the solenoid then check the battery wires. Good luck with this.

SOURCE: 1990 HONDA ACCORD WON'T TURN OVER TO START BUT IT WILL ROLL START. I HAVE CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR AND TESTED THE IGNITION SWITCH STARTER RELAY SEEMS FINE CLUTCH SWITCH SEEMS FINE MAIN RELAY IS FINE

About the only thing you didn't mention was the starter itself. You could have it tested. But before that, try to see if you have power on the small wire to starter solenoid on the starter, when key is held in cranking position. Pull the small wire off and check for power with a multimeter or a testlight while someone holds the key in crank. This is the signal wire from ignition switch that closes the elec. contacts inside solenoid so the starter gets full power from the battery to spin. (This wire also is in the circuit with the clutch switch and the starter relay.) If you have power on this wire in crank, it is very likely the starter is bad. If there is no power, check that circuit out. It is losing power somewhere from switch to starter solenoid. Good luck.

2004 Honda Odyssey when you turn the key to start it nothing happens. We have tryed everything the small book subjests to do. The headlights are bright, the battery is up.

Sounds like the starter motor may have gone bad. You might want to have the starter tested. It has to be taken off and then to a parts store for testing. If the starter tests good, it may be a problem in the wiring between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid (mounted on the starter motor). In that case, you will need some testing equipment to further test, equipment like a voltmeter used to check for power at the solenoid when key is held in start.

I have an 2004 Odyssey and the battery just died. I got it running again but now the radio won't work and the code is C0d3 or the 0 may be a D...not sure. WHAT DO I DO???? I have 3 kids and ne

The radio is displaying the word CODE which means you need to put in the code. The code is usually written in the owners manual or on a card that looks like a credit card. If you can't find the code, you will need to bring it to the Honda dealer and have them pull the radio to retrieve the code.

My 2004 Honda Pilot ran fine then a hour later won't start. At first thought battery so we charged up usig one of those chargers you plug in. Lights flicker, and clicking sounds but won't turn

Check batry terminals are secure & free from corosion, check security of earth strap to engine & main power wire on starter, if ok have the batry load tested to ensure it can perform under load as the starter needs a lot of current. Have you tried a jump start?

My 2004 Honda CR-V occasionally won't start. Lights come on the dashboard, but the engine doesn't turn over. I'll wait a few minutes and try again, then it starts. It will work just fine for...

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
Looks like that you have a failing IACV (idle air control valve). If the IACV is faulty, the vehicle tends not to start or may stall during operation. I suggest that you have the vehicle scanned to know exactly what the fault is. Though I suspect that it's the IACV.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

When you turn the key and it makes the tick, does it ever turn over at all? If not and it only ticks then it is most likely your starter. You can also test your battery at a local autozone, oreilley, napa, etc. and they can tell you if the battery is the problem. Also if you remove the starter they can typically test them also if you desire.

I got low battery message when i started and stopped my new Honday Odyssey which I have purchased 2 months before.

If I had a problem with a 2 months old Honda I would have it at a dealer as opposed to consulting with an oracle.

2004 honda odyssey making whistle noise

I know this original question was written quite a few months back but I was wondering if you ever found out what the high pitch sound was. I just purchased a used 2005 Honda Odyssey and it is doing the exact same thing. Any advice?
