My Honda Accord 96' LX does not turn over. Last night the car turned off while I was driving it when the light s were turned on and needed a jump to start back up...I barely made it home as the car died once I hit my street. I took the battery to be tested and its a good battery just was low. I returned to my vehicle and put the battery back in to start it and now it wont even turn over. What do you think the problem is or may lie?

Blown fuse(s), poor battery/ground connections to name a few.

The electronics in the car work fine; windows, radio, etc. Still it could be the fuse? I was thinking the starter and or alternator but i really have no knowledge when it comes to cars.

Its probably your alternator, hence why your battery is dead.

First, the car won't crank probably low battery. The alternator might not be charging thus the low battery. It could also be parasitic current draw. You need a volt meter to test each fuse. If your starter is bad then it will click when trying to crank. Take the battery out and charge it up full. Even if the alternator is bad, you should still charge your battery up full before starting with the new alternator as well.

i got the battery tested and it came back a good one just low. The alternator and the starter ended up being the problem. I hit the starter with a hammer and started right away but my battery light was still on even though i just had it charged. i did the old skool method of testing the alternator pulled the negative connector off the battery and the car shut right off. so im guessing those are my problem.
