1998 Honda Accord EX starting issues
Hello. I hadn't had any problems with my honda until last week. I went out to my car and it wouldn't start. On the third try I finally got it started and got home and it wouldn't start the rest of the day. I don't know much about cars, so this is what I notice and what we've done:
When I open the car door, the dome light and lights on the door do come on and my clock is still working. When I go to start, the clock dims until I turn the key back in the off position, but after trying to start it, the lights and locks don't work.
We replaced the battery and did the alternator test where you pull the negative and the car kept running.
For one week the car ran fine. Exactly one week after replacing the battery, had the same problem. Now I can't get it to start at all. There is no cranking/clunking or any noises. Literally, I turn the key, and if it's not going to start the clock goes dim and it does nothing. If it happens to start, no check engine or other lights stay on indicating a problem and if it gets started it seems to run fine.
Any insight on what it could be would be great. I am waiting for my husband to get home so we can decide where we can take it, but would like any opinions on what you think it is.
Thanks
