I have a 1997 Acura integra. I tried to start it and when i turned the key nothing happened. I checked the battery for charge, and it had plenty of juice. I cleaned all of the corrosion off of the battery terminals and checked all the wiring from the battery, and it seemed fine. Then i tried starting it again and got a buzzing noise from somewhere in the dashboard, and the engine still won't even try to turn. What could the problem be? I'm completely stumped.

ir you got a buzz after cleaning, you might want to replace the connectors on the cables. if you have a charger, charge the battery or take it out and have a parts store to charge it. by the way, how old is the battery? my van had a 7 year battery in it that died at 4 and a half. altenator could be weak also.

I would say the terminal connections are still not making good contact and replace them.

Replace the battery cable connectors so the terminals make solid contact, then charge or have the battery tested. If the battery is several years old or will not hold a charge, replace it and check for a weak alternator.
