Honda Civic Dead Battery then won't start- Kill switch?

My daughter left the headlights on all day while at work. When she came out would not start, so they tried jumping with 2 different cars, no sound whatsoever. The car alarm button also does nothing, but brake lights and horn only still operable, nothing else. I had them try nearly turning it over while pressing button for alarm under dash, and next pressing 5 times in attempt to reset, but nothing works. It is completely quiet. Is this the kill switch, and how can it possibly be reset? The battery is only about 40 days old, and as I said it makes NO noise at all.
Thanks for any assistance.

It wouldn't at least make a clicking sound? I mean it is completely silent. You don't think the kill switch could be responsible?

Thanks for your help.

My 1990 honda civic hatchback wont start...

It could be a problem with either starter if it won't turn over, the wiring to the starter, or it could be related to the fuel or spark delivery when turning over if the starter does turn the engine over.

Good-day! I have a 1991　honda civic. My wife unpluged the block heater for the night, so, it didn`t start in the morning. I repluged it in, took out the battery for the the next night to warm it...

#1 lights inside car mean squat they are very low draw how about radio heater headlights...and trying your ignition...I suggest you clean your battery teminal after fully charging your battery and make sure the terminals are nice and tight and then try starting your car w/out turning anything else on if it starts you have solved it if you drive it and it dies then you are just using juice in battery have alternator and battery lode tested at a reputable garage most will do for free on hopes of selling you what you need if they are ok then cherck your starter good luck

In order to replace the water pump you would have to do the timing belt. Don't know if you are aware of how involved and the kill level it requires.

My daughter owns a 2001 Honda Civic EX. After

The exact problem happened to me...

Opposed to a blown fuse, most likely the drained/dead battery caused the radio to "reset" itself. You should have a 5 digit (or 4) code that was provided by the dealer or owner. Most owners write it down somewhere on their owners manual. If not, the dealer can give you the code. Once the code is entered, you back in business!

Good luck!
