Icon2 1999 Honda Accord LX won't start. Help.

I recently had the starter replaced on the car and the battery checked out as good. However, after driving around running errands for a couple hours the car suddenly wouldn't start. The lights all came on for a brief moment and then went off again. A jumpstart didn't help.

The car has a security system that the previous owners say came with it that has an indicator light under the dash that flashes when its on. The car won't start if you don't press the toggle and turn the key at the same time. I noticed one of the wires to the toggle was broken so my brother-in-law replaced the toggle with a switch and it's still not working. Nothing at all is coming on and the digital clock even died as well. Its not even clicking like it was when the starter went. It's not making any noise at all, which is why I thought it was the battery at first.

I can't find anything like the system from the research I was doing so I guess it has to be an aftermarket part or something?

Any suggestions? Its the weekend so I my mechanic and the dealer down the street aren't open and I'd like to see what everyone else thinks before I have to call them anyway.

Sounds like a battery or battery cable issue to me.

Check both ends of both cables to be sure they are clean and tight, have the battery checked - not sure how long ago it was tested.

Double chack the fuses - drivers under dash #9 7.5 amp and the pass under dash #13 7.5 amp. Messing with the "switch" might have shorted and blown a fuse, the ones I listed are for the clock but you might want to check the others as well.

Did you read and comprehend what the OP stated?

How does the main relay and the fact the clock is not working/re-sets related to the main relay?

EDIT: Or even better yet, please explain how the "main relay" has control over the starter........more popcorn as I'd like to hear your wisdom on that as well

You never did explain how to adjust the rear camber on a 5th gen by this "adjusting bolt" that comes from the factory....more popcorn - dang I'm getting full and fat eating all of this waiting on you to answer the questions.
