ok heres the deal. i left my lights on last night. went to start it up battery was dead. i was even getting a turn over it was so dead. it was a 2 year old battery. i tried jumping it off, it stayed the same no turn over what so ever, headlights wouldnt even turn on. so i decided just to get a new one. i got a new battery and its pretty much doing the same thing like the old one. what could be the issue!! help me asap!!

 

bumpppp i need major help!

 

uppppppp

 

So to clarify: no lights at all are working? everything is completely dead? brand new battery never been used? everything was working properly before leaving the lights on?

Check to make sure the ground wire is bolted to the shock tower properly. Check to make sure the connections at the battery are clean and tight. Open the underhood fuse box to make sure the little screw bolts are holding down the wires in the right place so power can get to all of the fuses.

 

I agree and check your other grounds as well just to be sure.

 

check the 80a fuse in the underhood fuesebox

 

phrequenc hit the nail on the head. 80a fuse was blown!! thankx

 

these are the threads on H-T i love
no bickering no **** talking

1993 Honda Civic DX 5spd
Similar problem. Car electronics work, put the key in the ignition, Clutch in (ALL THE WAY), turn they ignition key - Doesnt turn over ( Just clicks, Will make video if my roommate lets me use his camera )
try a few more times, nothing...
Then pull out the key, put it back in, try again, nothing.
Then pull it out, put it in, push clutch, turn key, fires up, no other problems...
The key is not the original.

(will make a thread as soon as i get pictures of the car, pretty clean for what it is???)

 

that sounds like a ground. If the main relay is clicking then 90% chance its ground.

 

Thanks for the reply. i seem to remember the ground coming from the engine being broken a little. Likely try to fix tomorrow.

 

check to make sure you have all SOLID connections.

 

If only all the problems were this simple

 

truth but its nice when people help not act like douch bags and bitch and act like they know everything

 

thats my sig. i love it.

 

SAWEEEET i feel special now!

 

i have a similar problem with my Honda Civic EX Year 97.
battery i fully charged, has gas, oil is good.
was running fine, but was parked for about a month without turning it on every once in awhile and now wont start. The spark plugs should be in good condition, they were replaced last year.
what can it be?

 

check the ecu or maybe one of your fuse. thoes are the main things you should check out.

 

ive checked the fuse box, i will check it more thoroughly this time.
im a noob to all this. Thanks for your help.

 

if you got anymore suggestions please tell.

 

u might want to check the wire that goes to the starter sometimes they like to come off

 

if it was sitting for a month then the gas could be bad, especially if its been done more than once without the gas being changed.

it does at least turn over though right?

 

voltage test at battery, if good, test voltage at starter from battery positive cable. if not good, test voltage drop over starter feed circuit. check voltage drop over starter ground circuit. if everything is good, you should probably replace the starter
