How old is the battery ?

Clean the terminals.

Try jumping it from another car.

If you get it running replace the battery or take it the a auto parts store and have them check the battery.

If the battery is old like 6-7 years you'll probably want a new battery any way's with winter coming.

The old battery may have enough juice to turn the lights on but not turn the engine over.

What he said.

Also, try the five quick battery checks listed about 1/3 of the way down at http://honda.lioness.googlepages.com...alternatortips
