I have a 95 honda civic and I'm not getting any battery power what so ever. Its not making any noise, no lights or anything. I have replaced the battery and the starter. It went from running fine one day to this the next! And help or advice?

Check the main battery fuse, under the hood. I believe it's an 80a.

Are your battery terminals clean?

KingofKingz80

I don't have a tester :-/ but I pulled it out and it looked fine

I also cleaned my terminals yesterday...I also check to make sure the ground was secure

So yesterday I changed out the 80a battery fuse and the 50a I G fuse under the hood and still nothing...I even tried to jump it and still nothing

Since, you have a new battery & starter, have you thought about your "ALTERNATOR". I had this happened to me before, thinking it was my battery, but it was my alternator going bad. Good luck man

If he has no lights when turning the key, it wont be anything associated with the Alt.

It has to be a main fuse ro relay.. Check your thick gauge wiring going to the fuse area under the hood.

Ok I'll check...but if it was the alternator shouldn't I still be able to jump it

Check your ground wires

So I got a small generator and jumped my car and got it to start...so maybe alternator is bad?

It was already suggested you get it tested.

Take your car to autozone/advance auto/orielly and get it tested. They will test your battery and alternator while the car is running, and will test the starter by you turning it off and then cranking it. Also, do you have any extra aftermarket wiring on your battery? I had a voltage stabilizer on mine, and for 6 months it gave me no problems, then one morning I had absolutely no power. Nothing. No headlights, no nothing. I push started it to get to work. It turns out the voltage stabilizer was shorting the battery and drained it somehow. I bought a new battery, and a new alternator is next on my list (the thing is old as ***** and squeals on startup, along with occasional unsteady voltage)

KingofKingz80

I got the battery tested and they said that it was good just dead but they are going to charge it and see if it holds a charge...if not I'll check my alternator and my voltage stabilizer

crazyhouse2011

What brand of voltage stabilizer do you have? I bought mine on ebay. I eventually ended up removing it from the car, but left all the extra grounding wires in just for good measure - they make excellent safe jump start locations, almost as good as the negative cable itself.

Those are crap. Anything either JDM and Universal in the title/description should be avoided at all costs.

crazyhouse2011

Yes. If I had to do it over again I would have invested in some good 10 gauge wire and some connectors/bolts/etc (which is all I have left now that I removed the actual stabilizer).

OP, if you are going to mess with those, at least get the Buddy Club racing spec condenser that is tailored to your car.

KingofKingz80

I just had my mechanic remove the volt. Stab., im unsure of the brand And he says my battery is fully charged and the car cranks right up...only thing left is to check the alternator. Thanks for all of the help and advice!

crazyhouse2011

I'm guessing you weren't the one who put it on, am I correct? Voltage stabilizers are not hard to remove at all. You just remove the wires connected to the battery.

KingofKingz80

No I didn't put it on but what I found was that my external brake lights won't turn off...they are constantly on even when the rest of my lights are off and the car is off.

#bump problem solved! I just have to fix my high idle problem
