If there is no power presently, most likely it blew the fusible link, Honda's have a fusible link just off the battery and is located usually along the inside of the passenger fender follow the wire from the battery and you will find it, most likely that is the culprit, good luck.

Thanks a million for responding.I replaced the battery again and had to change not only the terminals but there was some build up on the wiring. Works like a dream now.Thanks again.

SOURCE: Ignition switch locks when remplaced the Stop Light & Horn fuse

Sounds like wiring. The key won't release unless the car is in park. From what I can remember the solenoid that controls the shifter lock is on the same circuit as the horn. Since the fuse was spent I think somthing must be shorting out. Take the centre console out and check for burn and or touching wires by the shifter.

Check for a fuel pump fuse in the cabin or under the hood!
These fuses or relays as they are sometimes called usually look like 2 inch black square boxes!

correct, may be a bad starter, start there. test for power at small wire at rear of starter if theres power when key is held in crank position then replace the starter also make sure battery connectoins are clean and thight, good luck hope this helps.

you probably had the battery leads the wrong way round , check the fuses in the main fuse box in engine compartment, the 100 amp is the most likely

Just clicks when ignition is turned

Check battery. If a jump starts the car and then it dies shortly after then your alternator is bad if it does not die or does not start from trying to jump start then it is your battery. Your battery may be dead if the alternator went bad because the alternator was not charging it like it should and the battery was running the vehicle. which sounds as if it may be the case. Hope I could help.

I have a 1996 honda accord lx and the car dont start I tryed the jump starting it and nothing I think its the firing

Im not clear on the stauts of the vehicle. Is it completley dead as if the battery does not work? Can you charge the battery or check to see if the battery is dead. If you have power going and the engine cranks but does not turn over it could be many things. It could simply be a fuse. Check your owners manual for location of your fuse box. Check all the fuses that goes to the starter, engine , fuel pump, anything that may correspond with electricity or starting the engine etc. Did the run , then stop working or did it do soemthing in between? I need a little more info.

2003 Honda Accord. Dies when I try to put it in drive

you are having a problem with your alternator. the battery has a main purpose to start the vehicle, keep computer memory, and give power to electrical components when the key is in the on position. the alternator charges the battery and gives power to electrical components when the vehicle is running. now when you hit the brakes there was an extra load added to the alternator and if the car died then the alternator is running very weak and needs to be relace.

2005 honda accord could not start

My daughter's Camry did the same thing. Odds are the battery is shot. Pull it out and take it by a parts store to get it tested. Her's showed a bad cell and once a new one was put in, the problem went away.
