check the battery fuse under the hood, it's bigger than the rest of the fuses. later.

[deevergote]

Make sure your connections are clean, and all your grounds are secure.

[90cb7tuner]

I checked all the fuse's.

[deevergote]

Then clean your battery connections, and make sure that all your grounds are clean and secure.

If those things all check out, it might be your ignition switch. It doesn't crank at all, correct? When you turn the key, does it light up, click, and shut off? Or does it do nothing at all?

[90cb7tuner]

Nothing happens all i have checked everthing and changed the the battery fuse. It Doenst even crank over and no light's come on and i have charged the battery.

[deevergote]

Are you sure the battery held the charge?

And did you clean your connections. You haven't responded to that. Yes, it sounds idiotic... but clean them well.



I had a similar problem (well, I got a click and then nothing...) I spent $300 on a new starter and battery, only to have them not work. I sat there, frustrated, drinking my last can of Coke, when I remembered the old chain email about people using Coke to clean engines and stuff. It's BS, but hell, I tried it. Soaked a napkin in Coke, ran it through the terminal clamps, and it started. That was all I ever needed to do! I don't recommend using Coke, but definitely clean the connections.

No i have not cleaned the battery connections. The battery i have in there is not even three or four mouths old. and before it started messing up the speed and RPM gauges started going all wack and stuff.

If the gauges were going crazy, it could be a grounding issue. Check the grounds. I had my fender ground snap on me, and every time I turned, the battery would pull it away. It would make my gauges go nuts, shut off my radio, flicker my lights... I couldn't tell by looking at it that it was broken, but when I pulled on it, it was totally snapped.

Check your grounds. Clean your battery cables (it doesn't matter if the battery is new... mine was a BRAND NEW Optima Red Top, and it didn't start until I cleaned the cables.)


After you do those things, if it STILL doesn't work, we can start thinking of something more in-depth. Seriously though. This is the 4th time I'm saying this... Give it a shot (don't mind the "Beginner" under my name... I own this site)

I'll go do that right now and see whats up hopehfully that works.

Thanks for the help

check all of your grounds. check that the little wire form the battery to the fuse block under the hood is tight and clean. have some one bend that little wire its full length and try to start it wile they bend it it my have a internal break. all connections from the battery need to be spotless and clean. it really does make a differance. that white corriosion that gets on your termenals can travel up the inside of the wire under the insulation check all of this things. if none of that helps i can call my friend that has been a mechanic at honda for 9 years and ask him were to look next. good luck

sorry devver got there before me must have been vtec or someting

[90cb7tuner]

I still have nothing happening i mean nothing it's like its dead or something. This is pissing me off

[deevergote]

If you've done everything else, then perhaps it's a bad ignition switch.

[90cb7tuner]

Well if it's that I can just get the one from my cuzin that he was gonna give me.

Thanks for the help!!!!
