I just did this repair 2 weeks ago. Hope it is the same for you. It turned out to be the ignition switch. Not the actual tumbler that you insert your key in, but the switch mounted to it from behind. The part is $40. at Autozone. Remove the lower plastic steering column cover. Remove the plastic knee panel. You will see it screwed onto the the key column. It's most always white. It may function properly but inside this little switch are many contact points that when they fail, cause power to draw from your battery. For instance, you'll be able to turn your radio on and run your windows down even after you remove the key.

I have seen issues like this on other Honda's and the problem turned out to be the ignition starter switch. Do this, jumper power directly to the starter solenoid trigger wire and see if the engine cranks.

My Honda Accord 1993 battery goes dead overnite. It starts with a jumper but after I drive a while and turn the ignition off, I have to jump the battery again. The battery is new and has new cables too.

sounds like you got a short somewhere in your system.look for burnt wires or malfunctioned lights. especially in the rear. tag lights are common these days

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.

Jump start 1993 Honda Accord but it did not

could be a couple of things. first make sure the battery is good for sure (have it tested and charged if needed) check for airflow (rodents...yes little animals can crawl into your air intake and make a little nest...i had one that actually chewed on my air filter a bit) and clear it out. Lastly check your fuel, see if the lines ran dry. after sitting there for a while the pressure in your fuel line dissipates and could actually drain completely into your gas tank...which means you have have to keep trying to start untill all the fuel lines are filled with gas. You could also just click your car on (not the last switch which starts you car... the one before it like when you drive) and just leave it for a few minutes.It powers up your fuel pump and pressurizes the lines. These things SHOULD get your car started otherwise something might have frozen up, like a fuel pump or starter or the engine itself although i would think the latter unlikely. check the 3 things first...Battery, Airflow, and Fuel delivery. hope this helps

93 civic wont start

My mind goes to battery, starter, or kill switch.
If you can play the radio and the lights are working, but you get nothing when you try to start it (not even a clicking sound), it's not likely the starter, either.
You may have a kill switch engaged. Some Honda cars have a kill switch that disables the engine from starting. (Anti-theft device installed). Check your user Guide to see if there is info there.
Often, there is a button you need to push or some other trigger to release the lockout.
Here is what I would try:
1. Conact the seller, if you can, to inquire.
2. Call AAA. They may know the various options, and did help me when I had trouble.
3. Call a Honda dealer to inquire about options for disabling it.

Good luck.
