2000 Accord starting problem... won't crank
Hello all,
I have a 2000 Accord EX 4 cylinder that has never failed to start. Suddenly, it will not. All dash lights come on, all accessories, power windows, heater, radio and virtually everything works, but when I turn the key to the start position, nothing happens. When I first turn the key all the way to crank position, I can hear something click, perhaps the starter relay, but after that, nothing. Believing it might be a battery problem, I cleaned the posts. No change. Then, because the battery is more than 4 years old, I simply replaced it. No change. I checked the fuses on the left side of the dash and in the engine compartment, but couldn't spot a blown one. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, C.A. |

If you can get it jump started, head on back over to Pep Boys or Auto Zone-- they'll do a free charging system diagnostic for you. |

All the ND ones appear to have them. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
