I just bought a 1990 Accord LX, that my friend hasn't driven for a year or more,
Anyway, we thought the battery was bad, but we charged it, and it seems fine. So, it won't start from the key. It will crank if shorted across the starter.

Working: Brake lights and horn, PERIOD.

Not working: anything else. No headlights, wipers, fan, nada!

I've checked continuity of all fuses, and they're fine. 12Volts IS getting to the engine compartment fusebox.


Any ideas???? Please help! THANKS!

EDIT- okay, I'm 98% sure I checked the 80 AMP fuse in the engine compartment, and it was fine. Now, it turns out it's blown. What kind of short could it be, to blow an 80 AMP fuse?
