Why is my Honda Civic not starting?
My car wouldn’t start this morning. I have no idea why! Everything seemed normal yesterday when I drove it. Why isn’t my Honda Civic starting?

A car that won’t start can be seriously frustrating! The good news is that it doesn’t sound like there’s any reason to panic. While it may seem like a dramatic problem, the reason why your
Honda Civic
is not starting is pretty simple. Most of the time, it’s just because your battery is dead. The dead giveaway is when the other systems in your
Honda
(radio, headlights, etc.) are also not responding.If you were noticing that the lights and radio were still coming on, but the car wouldn’t start, it might have been something like a bad alternator or starter. Since you mentioned that the car is totally unresponsive, there is little doubt that a dead battery is to blame.
Most of the time, you can jump-start your battery and car with a pair of jumper cables and a working car battery. If that doesn’t do the trick, your battery may actually be faulty and need to be replaced.
