My 94 accord ex doesn't even try to crank. Thought it was the starter but that is not likely. For some reason the solenoid is getting power to the big wire all the time, even when the key isn't in the start position. We're thinking it might be the ignition switch. Anyone have any idea what is going on with this?

Are there any starter relays or any other thing that can go bad unexpectedly that will cause the solenoid to not even engage?

I left my headlights on and came out to find my battery dead of course. Tried jumping it 3 times, decided the battery was shot and got a new one. Nope wasn't the battery. For some reason the anti theft light on the steering column blinks now. Never blinked once since I got the car until I came out and tried to jump it after it wouldn't start from having a dead battery.

!!! This is really frustrating thank you.

 

AFAIK, the solenoid should have power to it from the battery all the time. The ignition switch "signals" the solenoid to engage when the key is turned to "start" position. Either the ignition switch is toast, the solenoid is stuck/or no good, or the battery cables have poor contact.
