97 honda civic, doorajar beeps but no other power and won't start

I have a 97 Honda Civic that was driving fine. stopped for a moment and turned the car off. Came back out and when I turn the key ... nothing. No lights, no sign of turning over although the door ajar beep still goes off. Really could use some help out. I tried jumping it and nothing. Any suggestions?

Check main fuse. This was the problem on a vehicle I was working on that had a similar problem.

SOURCE: 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Door Ajar Light wont turn off and car alarm

The problem you are experiencing is the drivers side interior light switch is not working. This is usually found in the door latch on later model cars and usually requires the complete latch mechanism changing. However it would pay to check that your car doesn't have a pin switch fitted in the pillar.Unfortunately I think you have the former.

SOURCE: oil filter in civic 97

If you go to a reputable motor factor,
you can only be sold the correct filter for the civic.
As there are soo many variables in engine type, it's almost impossible to tell, oil volume, or which type filter.
However, I will say, be sure that you don't mix semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil.
Oil changes should be undertaken every 30,000 miles, (unless under extra work load, (in which case, slightly more regularly))

Otherwise, 10/40 or 15/40 grade oil, is perfectly fine.
The trick to not overfilling the oil, is simply just to take your time, clean the dip stick and retry, until you have the correct reading.

Got a 97 Honda civic ex and it won't turn over,

It appears that the longer time to warm up is because there was no water in the radiator and running for 30 minutes would cause the motor to seize. Check it out.
