Vehicle Info
1993 Accord EX sedan
Totally stock besides Gathers CD player and Honda CD changer in trunk (unplugged).
Had the car for 13 months with no electrical issues.

Background:
I was cleaning the car with the radio on, car on ACC. Speakers started to get staticy, then the radio lights began flashing on and off. Suddenly the radio stopped working altogether. Seems to have no power. I haven't gone further into that problem and perhaps it's coincidence. Never had a problem with this radio before, nor any other in the car.

So I got in the car and tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't start.

Specifics of no start:
Lights all work (besides radio). Headlights work strong. No dimming.

Key in ignition. Turn key to attempt to start car and I get four fast clicks behind the driver's dash vent area and [possibly the engine bay. It's hard to tell in the garage alone. Engine does not try to turn over.

All lights work, windows work, all power so far seems to work.

Tried to jump straight off a known good battery (car is nose in in the garage and cables can't reach the other battery when in the car). No luck. Only did this because it was cheap, easy and dead batteries are common.

 

look carefully at the connections at the starter and grounds for the charging harness by the trans. Have someone crank the car and check to see if your getting voltage at the starter. Also try giving the starter a couple taps with a hammer and screwdriver while someone tries cranking, could be a sticky solenoid.

 

Unfortunately I'm alone for now.

I rapped on the starter earlier (sorry, forgot to add that), but no help.

I should have a friend here in half an hour or so, but it still sucks that my car's stuck like this.

 

Jumped the car off a running vehicle since I managed to get another one. The Accord is running again.

Looks like I have to go check out the battery.

Checked the grounds btw. All look good. Cleaned the terminals off too.

 

Might as well update this with what the problem really was.

So I made sure all connections were clean and not loose.

Still kept having problems in the next few days. Luckily by that point I had a jump box and could get the car started because of it.

I had tested the battery and it came back with a result that it was good. That left me not knowing what my problem could be.

I ended up testing it again and turns out I had a bad cell. My battery had only been produced April 2006. Oh well. It happens.

One new battery later and I haven't had a problem since.
