car won't start
My son has a '93 Accord. It has a starting problem that seems to only
occur in the morning. Each morning when he goes to start the car, he puts the key in and nothing happens. The motor doesn't turn over, the dash lights and radio don't come on, but the interior lights come on and the headlights will work. When we come back to it around 3 hours later it starts right up like nothing was ever wrong with it. I though it my be the battery, so I replaced it, still have the same problem. |

Hi
Check the fuse (I think) labled "IGN" -- One side goes to the main fuse, which couldn't be the problem because your lights still work. The other side goes to your ignition switch (where you insert your switch). While the fuse is not blown (you mentions that it will start eventually), it could be that the fuse holder contacts are corroded or bent too much and don't make contact. If you see 12V passed that fuse and it still doesn' start, I'd check the wiring to the common connection of the ignition switch or the ignition switch itself. Hope this steered you in the right direction and you find the problem soon. Remco "scoutdad" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > My son has a '93 Accord.
