    1998 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder V-Tech won't start
    Went out today and turned the key and nothing, no cranking or dash lights... dead as a hammer... Have had no problems leading up to this... no warning lights... been around 40 to 50 degrees the last few weeks... battery charger is showing in the "green" but still nothing... I'll have the battery checked today but it might be something else... any ideas?

    Likely dead battery.

    If replacing the battery doesn't solve the problem, test all underhood and underdash fuses with a test light or multimeter. Should the problem persist, check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.
