Engine won't crank but power elsewhere

My 2000 Honda Passport was in ok shape, but a door was left open and battery died. So I went to jump it but after hooking it up, the engine wont even crank as if it is not getting power at all. The windshield wipers go without being on and the headlight work with control over them, no radio. I'm confused!! Could it be a circuitboard or fuse? I was trying to see if the power distribution fuse could have a bearing on it but don't know much about those. Any insight would be helpful.

You could have debirs in the pump or in the line. some units have screens that can get clogged up. Do make sure fuse is in place and tight. There may also be a relay that could be loose or faulty. You can check with an ohmmeter.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help! I Pulled out Fuses they checked out ok. The wiper switch was (replaced with new one). The fluid pump sprays windshield."

SOURCE: 1995 Honda Passport timing alginment 3.2 ltr 6VD1 engine

The crankshaft should have the timing mark on the crank pulley (Notch in the outer edge of the pulley near the keyway) It should align with the timing mark on the oil pump. (With the keway turned to about the 3 O'clock position.)

Align the marks on the camshaft timing pulleys with the corresponding dots on the front plate.

If you are installing a new belt, it should have 2 solid white lines printed on it that you would align with the timing marks on the cams and a dotted white line to align with the timing mark on the crank.

It makes a difference which way you put the belt on. (Which edge faces the front of the engine.) Most, but not all brands of belts have arrows and the word "FRONT" on them to tell you which edge of the belt shoud face the front of the motor. If there is no mark to tell you which edge is front, the letters on the belt must be able to be read correctly as viewed from the front of the vehicle.

Testimonial: "Thanks for bringing me back to reality... I just finished working on it and everything is fine. It really was that simple.... Thanks again."

1999 Honda passport,no crank,battery good,starter good,fuses good.can u tell me a bypass or help?

Test Battery connections for continuity, if ok, use heavy duty test lead and connect live side of battery direct to starter motor.
If the engine cranks, the fault may lie between the ignition switch
and the starter solenoid.

2000 tundra door left open batt went dead tried to jump. truck would not start replaced batt still nothing. replaced fuel pump in tank truck turns over but will not crank

run fault codes to find any problems in the CPU/ ECM as jumping a battery incorrectly causes a power surge which generally wrecks the units. If it checks out ok then use the reader to reset the CPU as the program was probably corrupted.

Xterra won't start when the battery has juice free of corrosion and starter is freshly installed

Check the cleanliness and tightness of the battery terminals. Loosen, twist and retighten them. Also check the cleanliness and tightness of the black earth cable where it attaches to the engine block/bodywork. A bad earth can cause the symptoms you describe.

A quick check you can do is to connect a jump cable to the battery negative terminal - the earth - and connect the other end of the cable to somewhere suitable on the engine/bodywork.

If the car starts no problem with the jumper cable - it's pointing towards a bad earth/connection somewhere on the battery earth

I jumped car off it crunk on its own fora day,then batt went dead again,this time it won't jump off. It wants to crank but won't turn over.

not sure what you said but.
seems the battery is discharging,? 12.6v is fully charged,
own a voltmeter?
try a good loaned battery , does it start the car,?
i think you meant?
i can jumper cable start my car at any time. (off another running car)
but after running my car, the battery discharges and it will not crank at all. right?
this means ,the charging system on your car is bad.
if the starter cranks great, then the engine is flooded or is in great need of a tune up (sparkplugs etc)
if flooded try the super secret in the op guide, crank with throttle wide open , this magic trick cuts all fuel injection allowing the flooding
to purge away, and eventual starting.
my guess 2 is the car wont start, so you crank the battery flat
you jumper start it and it runs. (luck)
then day 2, same deal cranks ok but wont start.. ever tune up the engine?

The fuse kept popping. They replaced blown fuse in coil and module. The tested misc wiring in main harness. They found and repaired bad wires in main harness for module and coils in left front inner fender.
