Daughter's new 93 honda accord. Put key in ignition and car goes dead; lights out. Fixed it once by using shift lock and moving shifter. Car booted up and cranked normally. Didn't work next time. Problem is random.

. Remove and fully charge the battery. Most auto parts stores will do this for free.

. Check/replace ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting:
