Default 2002 Honda Accord starting issues

Hello

I have a 2002 Honda Accord with 115k miles it has recently been having some starting issues to when ever i run the Air the car will not start back up, i normally have to pop the hood and move the battery cable slightly for it to start. Can anyone tell me what the issue may be? since I am a woman i kinda want to know what price range I should be looking to hear at the shop

sounds like u got a loose battery terminal. go to a auto store and buy a new battery terminal. under $5

u will have to cut the old one off and strip some of the wire maybe even re-route the cable so it fits on the battery post. u want to tighten the metal plate that covers the wires very tight but the bolt for the terminal should be hand tight.

really simple maybe ask someone for help

Its going to depend a lot on if the car is actually cranking or not.

if your car just goes - tick tick tick tick - when you try to start it. most likely its the issue that 94 said --
