98 accord wont start. lights flicker in dash and engine wont turn over

bad or dirty connection at battery poss negative

When this happens, move the Gear Selector lever a bit. It has a Neutral Safety switch that may be slightly out of adjustment

Check ALL your fuses in your car to see if any is busted. If so, replace them, That should do the trick. Hope this helps, James Booth

Starter, altinator

I have the wiring diagram if you need it. Send me your email address and info on your vehicle and I will send you the diagram. Have you turned the key on and tried to jump across the starter to see if it would run?

at the minimum, since you mentioned all the idiot lights coming on, your alternator is fried. have someone put in a new alternator. if it's still acting up, have someone go over the computer.

clicking usually sounds like a starter sometiimes when they start going bad it gets stuck that's why u only hear clicking, try tapping it with a steel bar or something it worked for me wen my car was doing that, and what u mentioned about the battery it might be that is not holding charge even if u try jump starting it

Try having someone turn the key to the start position while at the same time someone else taps on the starter with a hammer. If starter begins to crank the engine or makes weird noises or begins to smoke then you need a starter. If nothing happens, then using a test light or a volt meter check for power at the "S" terminal of the starter solinoid when the key is turned to the start position. The "S" terminal is the small terminal to the right of the terminal where the battery cable goes when viewed with the battery cable terminal at the 12 Oclock position. (usually a purple wire). Hope this helps.

does it try to turn over if not it could be that the battery is dead if that not it then you mit have a blown fuse

Do the dash lights come on ? They should come on when the key is turned to the on position. If nothing happens check the engine relay. It is not too expensive to replace if you really want to eliminate that as the problem. Check all wires going to the starter and make sure it is wired correctly.
