What do I have to change if my car wont start? I tried to turn the key and every time I do everything comes on but it wont start. I don't even hear a clicking sound just a little buzz when I first turn it but then the buzzing stops. The radio is loud the lights are on, the door locks and everything but it still wont start. What do I do?

Hi BBEN92,

This sounds like a couple of things. It could be a relay, starter, ignition switch, or a weak battery. Unfortunately, there isn't one thing I can tell you to replace. You will need to do a little testing first.

Easiest thing to start with is to hook up jumper cables to another vehicle and see if it starts. If it does then it is the battery.

If not, you will need to do some electrical testing.

I attached a couple of guides that explain the starter side and a video that walks through what I am thinking your issue is. This is a common problem on Accords and your car is not much different.
