Went out to get in the car this morning but nothing happens, no lights, no turnover. Put the key in and nothing happens at all.

I changed the battery a couple weeks ago know and that all seems to be connected up fine.

Anybody have any ideas at all ?

Its a Honda CRX Del Sol (1994) with the ESi engine in it.

All help/advice apprecaited. :)

Was the charge rate checked or drain checked before fitting new battery? I would suspect that you may have a problem other than with your battery.

Ehh no :o

What is that ? is there anything I can do or anything you can suggest that it may be ?

Thanks for the reply

You need to remove the battery, charge it, and refit it. As for checking the charge rate, if you don't know what you are doing, without meaning to be offensive, it would be best to have a garage do it, as I believe you have a smart charge system. As for the drain test, it is merely a matter of disconnecting the negative cable from the terminal on the battery and connecting an ammeter between them. With everything switched off, you should not get a reading of above 0.2 - 0.3amps.The lower the better.

Thanks very much.

Since I fitted the battery I have done over 300 miles I would say, is there any reason why it has happend now ?

Going to hopefully try and swap the battery to see if that works.

As stated above the car does nothing no ignition lights etc, would it be possible to jump start ?
