Default Starting Issue

I was driving my car today and it started and ran fine. I then took the headlight out to re seal it (it wasnt sealed 100%), put it back in, and then about 30 minutes later tried to start it and it wouldnt start. The cars radio comes on and the lights on the dash come on then when I try to start it it turns over like once then dies and the radio shuts off for about 10 seconds then comes back on. Any idea wether its the battery, starter, or what?. I hear the fuel pump prime.

I drive a 97 civic lx automatic.

sounds like battery.

turn on your headlights and see how bright they are. if they are dim then your battery needs a recharge. must have gotten drained in the 30 minutes working on your car

Are your terminal clamps on the battery tight?

Did you blow any fuses? You could check if main relay is clicking all three time.
