I keep on having to give my car a jump everyday and ive already replaced the alternator and re-charged the battery. i was told it could be my cable but i dont know how to replace that or where to start or what to look for...
anybody have any ideas?

 

Could there be a parasitic draw? Meaning, could something be left on (dome light, trunk light) or could something be shorted out that is drawing power from the battery while the car is off?

If you turn your car off, can you start it back up again immediately? So, if you leave it for 2 hours, and come back to start it, will it start? 5 hours? 12 hours? If "time" is a factor, then I would look at the battery. A failing battery will continue to fail, recharge or not. If i had to GUESS, I would lean towards this option (Needs new battery), given no further information.

If time is not a factor... ie: if as soon as you shut your car off, you are unable to start it again, then yes, it COULD be a battery cable (But could STILL be a failed/failing battery). BUT, I would hope that your mechanic would not be such a dolt, as to not check and clean your battery cables/terminals when he recharged your battery.

You sound to be a little "short" on experience, if you don't know where to look for a battery cable... BUT THAT'S OKAY! We were all there at some point. Take the time to search (with Google or what have you...) and to learn. The internet is full of information, which is why we are living in the "Information Age"! Good luck.

haha! well i know where the battery cable is, but to follow it to look for like a short or something.....yea, your right im not honda smart but i got some honda knowledge. haha but yea time is definitely a factor. i work all day and i can start it up during my breaks and what not but its when im home for the night and the next morning it wont start.....

 

Get your battery properly tested. The "recharge" did just that... it recharged it. Your alternator is doing the same thing when you drive. But if your battery is failing, it will be unable to HOLD that charge for an extended amount of time. Test the battery, and if/when it fails, replace it.

Good luck.
