I have a 2005 Honda Pilot with approx 37,000 miles. We have had no problems with the vehicle. This morning, I was able to start the car with no problem, drove the car about 7 miles and then reparked the car at home. About 15 minutes later, I went out to the car and it would not start at all. We have had no battery problems at this point. I can't move it out of park, and when I turn the key, I get a fast clicky sound. Since I can't get it out of park, I am stuck without a car. Any suggestions?















A few more details -- not sure that it matters, but... I had left the parking lights on for the few minutes that I was away from the car (no more than fifteen minutes). Also, I am looking for both a diagnosis and possible solutions... thanks.















Thanks for the responses thus far. The reason I don't think it is the battery is that it was honestly less than 15 minutes and only the parking lights were on; and I had no problems starting the car earlier. I had thought I'd see signs of a bad battery and did not think that 15 minutes would be enough for the problem. Also -- cause someone asked, I don't really live in a cold climate ... I live in San Jose, CA. This morning it was about 42 degrees.

disconnect the battery for half an hour then reconnect. then try it. if no go then tow it to your dealer. Are you in a cold climate? Try and jump it.
