Default Car not starting please help :(

can someone point me in the right direction please I understand that this is vague but here is what I have

97 ek accessories will not come on nor will the starter turn or even register BUT the lights still work? Ive had a problem like this before and had to replace the big huge 40A fuse before under the hood

I was wondering if this could be the same problem? And if so can the lights still work?

Thank you in advanced

Does the starter click when you switch to ON on the ignition switch or is there no sound? If there's no sound then it's probably a burned fuse. Otherwise, it might be a bad starter.

It's probably a burned fuse. Not sure which one exactly as I haven't worked on a honda in a while but maybe someone can chime in and tell you exactly what to check.

Im thinking its the 40A fuse under the hood thats my guess I did recall some info from last time I used my car when I was engaging my fuel cut off switch I heard an arc as if there was loose wires which I just now replaced

*waiting for a ride to autozone to replace 40A fuse*

any other suggestions would help a lot just in case I might have missed something
