Hello everyone...

My 99 honda accord ex ( 4 cyl.) won't start...at first it would make a loud clicking sound and after a few tries would come on, but now the clicking sound isn't as loud and won't turn on at all

We put in a new starter and new battery and new terminals(i think) and havent had any success. Any tips or ideas on what this may be would be of great help.

 

You can also check the other end of the battery cables. good clean ground, and tight starter connection.
Be sure of the terminals at the battery are clean and tight.

 

Thanks for the tip...I will try that...now by the end of the battery cables which end do you mean...My husband cut off the old terminals and replaced them with new ones...
how would we check the starter connection?
Thanks in advance!

 

Your first post talks about new terminals on the battery cables. Don't forget the OTHER end of those cables.

Disconnect the negative before messing with the positivecables. It's not the right time of year for fireworks...

The bignegative cable goes to the body somewhere. Disconnect it & clean up corrosion, make sure it's tight.

The big positive cable goes to the starter. Clean up & tighten that end of the cable. This is when it's important to have the (-) disconnected, because it's too easy to short a wrench to ground.

The cables themselves can corrode inside the swage where the end-terminal is attached. I've even heard of a cable corroding & breaking in the middle - INSIDE of it's insulation. After checking the obvious, don't take anything for granted.
