Is there any indication of power anywhere in the car, radio, panel lights, interior lights when door opens, power anywhere??

    Two suggestions

    There are 2 fuse panels in most cars. One is in the engine compartment and one is inside the car at the bottom of the dash by the drivers left knee. Take out the fuses and check them. Start on the one in the engine compartment. If you want to spring for an inexpensive volt meter you can get one for about 20 bucks. You can measure voltage and check fuses.

    There is also something called a fusible link in the engine compartment. I'm not sure where it is located in your Honda. You could call a Honda dealer , ask for the service department and ask where the fusible link is located. Since you don't have voltage anywhere this might be the problem.

    Wish I could be more specific.

    Good luck Loringh

2001 Honda Civic LX won't start the headlights won't work the horn will work but it will not start

It sounds like you have either a wiring issue or fuses blown. If the battery was hooked up in reverse it could have blown the ignition fuse which would impact the described systems. If I can assist further, reach me at https://www.6ya.com/thericepatch

Why my Honda horn keep beeping when connecting negative battery terminal

DOUBLE CHECK that you have connected the battery the right way and haven't put the positive on the negative. This is sometimes a warning that you have the terminals the wrong way round. If the battery is fitted correctly check the fuses.

CHECK THE MARKINGS ON THE BATTERY + & - ARE GOING TO THE CORRECT TERMINALS

On a 1994 honda civic, the lights were left on all night and got a new battery and now there's no power at all, no lights and carr will not start again no power at all, what can the problem be ?

Make sure the battery posts and terminals are shiny clean and tight, and the battery is fully charged, Leaving the light on will not harm anything only discharge the battery, sometimes a junction box is attached to the neg battery terminal for other cables make sure they are clean and tight .

My 98 civic when driving it shuts off loses all power...turn key off n turn on again like reseting it starts up why is this?

It sounds like you have a major electrical issue or bad (shorting) battery. When you say it loses all power, you mean radio, lights, horn etc? Clean Battery terminals & look for ground wires that need to be cleaned & reattached. Check the black ground cable that goes to engine block. The more I type the more I think its a bad ground somewhere or the battery is shorting out inside the case. Good luck and I hope this helps you.

Where is the horn fuse for 94 honda civic DX

check the fuse if the fuse is good use a test light on the wire going to the horn if it lights up when you press the horn button then the horn itself is bad if it does not light up it means no power to the horn ,check fuses first ,and make sure the horn is grounded to metal, if you run a wire from the positive terminal of the batt. and touch it to the wire going into the horn the horn should work if not bad horn

Changed out dead battery and horn wont stop

Hello.
Changing out the old battery, you may somehow shorted something out in the car. You can check this by seeing if you have any power going to the lights on the car and what ever else that uses the power when you turn on the key. Newer cars like yours usually cant short out, but if the lights and other stuff dont work when your check them, disconnect the battery and look for the fuse panel. Check ALL your fuses and make sure none of them have been blown. You can check that by seeing if the filament in them looks to be burnt or broken as if it popped.
You can also check and make sure that the negative battery terminal is on tight enough. Sometimes a bad ground can mess everything up. As your doing this, before your reconnect your battery, go under the hood of your car and disconnect the horn. This will allow you to work without the horn blaring. To disconnect the horn, its just a wire with an end that simply slides over a metal tab, just give it a pull and it should come right off. You may have two horns so check both sides of the radiator. Hope this helps!
