Hey all,
I just jumped into my '91 civic hatch this morning and when I turned the key nothing happened (it won't turn over, no electronics come on). I am certain the lights were not left on. I did hear my cooling/radiator fan going when I turned off the car (which I've learned from other threads is normal). What could be the problem? What can I check/do? Thanks.

 

Update- I tested the battery with a multimeter and it has charge. There is absolutely no sound when I turn the key, no lights or indicators. When I tried to turn on the over head lights, nothing happened. Thoughts?

 

So basically nothing works?
Headlights don't turn on, no accessories, ... nothing?

Check your main fuses in the engine compartment fuse box.
Check all your grounds.
Make sure your battery cables are in good condition - if the insulation has peeled back, they may have corrosion where you can't see it.

 

Yo! Its gonna sound like im making this up but exact same thing happend to me this morning. I went as far as to change my starter beacuse i tred to jump start my hatchy n it wouldnt turn over. Anyways after about n hour n a half swaping starters n almost getting into a fist fight with my neighbor he was making smart remarks about real race cars or hot rods (he drives a cadillac cts or sum thing ) wat made me loose it was he was talking smack n the bastard doesnt even kno how to do an oil change. Sorry got side tracked. I ended up realizing that the battery wasnt holding a charge so i opened it up n it was dry. So i added water N drove around for about n hour n its holding a charge (oh yeah i kno ur supposed to use a battery charger but i dont own one n i had to go to work)

 

You need a jump at least. Sounds like the fan relay might be bad or perhaps someone rewired it.
