Default 1995 Prelude Automatic Wont start

Parked car at work, after long day came to the car and the ignnition goes on but it wont crank. The starter clicks but nuttin else. It feels as if the key wont turn all the way. As if sumthing was blocking it(like when the car is in gear, auto tranny, the key cant be turned to start). What can this be?

Sounds like your battery is dead to me, have you left anything switched on by mistake ? can't see that being anything to do with your tranny. Have you tried getting a jump start or checking the battery ?

i doubt its battery related if your ignition powers on fine...check your connections at the starter..could also be the ignition switch OR less common and only found on automatics: the neutral safety switch

is it an automatic? and if so try to start it in neutral instead of park.

If its standard it somewhat sounds like a dead battery. maybe a solenoid.
