Hey all,
New to this forum, new to Honda. I've inherited one from my son.
Anyways, it's been sitting for a while, the battery was dead and the alternator is seized... threw the belt last fall. Anyways, I wanted to get it over to my shop last evening to start to work on it, put in a little gas, and gave it a boost. Fired right up. Disconnected the booster cables and she quit. Now when I turn the key, I have all kinds of power, bells dinging and dash lights, dome light on, but as soon as I turn the key to the starting position, no power... nothing. If I let it sit for a few minites, I get the power back, ding ding and all that, then turn the key to the start position and no juice! Any idea if this is a relay... if so I wonder where it might be
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Cheers
Bill

 

im sure your batteries been charged completely right.almost sounds like you got no coldcrank from your battery.

 

or corroded wires going to your battery...bad connections on your terminials??

 

or terminals are not tightened comepletely...hopefully its something that simple,lol

 

You Da Man Phil!
Just went out and tightened up the battery cable connections and away it went! I guess what threw me was that it started initially, then when the power disappeared, it seemed to heal itself.
Anyways, thanks for your help!
Cheers
Bill
