I own a 91 Accord, 120K miles. About an hour ago, when I tried to start the car, nothing happened. I mean, nothing at all. The engine wouldn?t even crank when I turn the key. The headlights don?t turn on, and the horn doesn?t work either. Needless to say, upon inserting the key into the ignition, the automatic seat-belts don?t move, and no lights on the dash board turn on.
This is very strange, since in the morning everything was fine. The car ran as usual, I even had blown the horn at someone .... Out of the blue, the car is dead. My first thought was that someone stole my battery. But the battery is there.
Do you think the battery could be dead ? This would be extremely strange, since there was no hint of that. There is some corrosion at the battery terminals (I thought the mechanic would have cleant those when I changed oil 3 months ago). Or could some electrical connection be disconnected ? Is it a good idea to try getting a jump-start when the car seems completely dead ?I mean, its not like the engine is trying to crank and then misfire. The car seems completely dead. Thanks for any suggestions.
