Low/dead battery. Test the battery for proper voltage.

Do the interior lights dim when you turn the ignition and try to engage the starter?

Its also an A/T.. And the dome light goes on when the key ignition is turned.. The battery has a charge and holds it.

Have you tried doing a strait shot from the battery (+) to the starter (+) to test it?

Give the starter (+) a little tap with an insulated wire from the battery to see if the starter engages.

Charge your Battery, clean corrosion off of the cables, check your ground off of your battery as well. If all that is good I would check your starter solenoid. I found it on a wiring diagram on alldatadiy http://traffic.alldatadiy.com/...61766

Nice plug....Spam......Spam

Why pay for a monthly subscription for a tech website when you can
1. Download the Honda shop manuals online
2. Get TSB info for free online, and
3. Get free info from this and many other tech-sites.
