[yangoholic]

Ok guys! Well something is wrong with my car and I dont know what the fuck it is!!! So heres the problem, I was in stp yesterday and went grocery shopping right, and then I came back out and started my car....all of a sudden my car wouldnt start! So I had a friend who jump my car and I came back home! So heres the problem:
I turn on the ignition and it would not crank or do anything! The lights would not come on even if the key is not in the ignition. I checked the battery 2 (TWO!!) TIMES and still it was not the battery! It took me the whole day just to take off the alternator and still that was not the fukcen problem! I check the fuses and nope! I put new ground on my car and nothing! What else can be the problem!!! Im so lost!!! And Drew and I took back the battery back to Autozone and tried it on this guys civic. And it worked....so we took it back to my place and now the lights come on again with out the key in the ignition! But what im afraid is if we put back the alternator back on to the car and it dies again! Im just so lost!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

so wait, is your alternator in the car right now? the cars battery light turns out without the key in the ignition? battery is dead, but you can jumpstart it and its okay?

well, its time for a manual swapped vtec motor lol. Can you start up the car at all or does the battery light come on when you try to crank it?

[yangoholic]

nope....no crank or anything...its just DEAD!!!

[SlowEGG]

so why isn't your alternator in your car? lol you do realize it charges your battery when your car is on right?

well first I would check your grounds, then the main fuse for the car. Then the ignition module, sometimes they can get hot and give you short running distance or run until you shut down and if they dont cool long enough then they wont work. I am assuming the battery is not relocated. Either way, have one of your buddies hold the insulated wire and crank it or attempt to. See if the wires get hot, maybe a short somewhere.

[yangoholic]

no, I took out the alternator to test it if it works at autozone, and they said it still works! but thats the problem, if its not my battery or alternator then what could it be cuz i check everything!!!

hahaha, thats the problem, how can we turn it on or crank it when the car wont even start...lol!

Check water pump again and check the fuse in the engine bay. A new water pump doesn't always mean it won't die on you. This happened to our camery and it was the water pump.

[yangoholic]

but that wouldnt be right though.....i mean the car doesnt crank, lights doesnt come on, and i tested the battery 2 times and got the alternator checked out!

[Chee_dog]

Thats what i was thinking too when i had the problem with the camery lol. But first of all, go look at the main fuses inside the engine bay and check to see if they're all good.

[yangoholic]

what do you mean the fuse in the engine bay...you mean the one thats in the box.....haha..i check every one!

[SlowEGG]

maybe your ignition switch is fucked up. does your car have an alarm? maybe a bad install?

[yangoholic]

haha...no it cant be that...

[djtydus]

dame looks like i'll have to shock the starter and see if it jumps. if not the the power wire on the starter is loose. chue had that issue when he jumped his timing. we did everything and at the end it was his loose power wire on the starter..lol..but i'll come and look at it tommorow when i wake up..NOOBS!!.loll j/k. im still a noob too.

[yangoholic]

hahaha...sure punk!

[S.P.3.3.D]

so it does start with a jump? so u can pretty much rule out starter, ign switch and any fuses. how long does it run with a jumpstart? bc most hondas are known for bad ignition modules in distributor.

i would check ALL electrical connections (including battery cables, alt connections, starter connections etc etc). do ykno what voltage ur battery was when they tested at autozone? anything below 10 isnt good. and how old ur battery is? if its more than 4-5 yrs, then its time to change it. maybe it has a bad cell. check for any corrosions as that will block a good elec connection. if not u can always try sum1 else battery bc most honda's except for accords have a group 51 size battery. if u need a battery, go to autozone bc they have a 2 yr warranty on it and their battery is rated good on consumer reports. if u want they can also charge up ur battery. if u put the alternator back in take a voltmeter and see if its charging the battery (voltage w/ car turned on vs volt w/ car turned off).

did you check if the power and ground cable on ur battery are tight?

[yangoholic]

yup i did everything!
